What amp is 250V?

So, in the example below the maximum amp rating for this switch at 250 volts AC (VAC) is 10 amps; the maximum amp rating at 125 volts AC for the same switch is 15 amps.

Are all 250V fuses the same?

Q: Can I replace a 125V fuse with 250V? Yes, you can always use a fuse of a higher voltage range. You must match the amp ratings. The voltage stamped on a fuse is simply the maximum voltage that is safe for that fuse.

Can I use a 250V fuse instead of 12V?

However, for less than 12V, or if you need a very precise voltage level use fuses specificaly adapted. Yes, you can use them, The amp rating does not change.

What does 250V P mean on a fuse?

250V = Max working voltage. P = RoHS compliant (lead free)

How many volts is a 5 amp fuse?

250 volt
Amazon.com: 5 amp 250 volt fuse.

What is a 250 V fuse?

Semiconductor Fuse – 250 Volts The 250 volt semiconductor fuse is a current limiting, very fast-acting, fuse rated to 250 volts AC and up to 250 volts DC. Current ratings range from 1 to 2,500 amps. The maximum interrupting rating, is 200,000 amps AC and 100,000 DC. These High Speed Fuses are UL Recognized,.

What is a 5 amp fuse used for?

5 amp sockets are used on the lighting circuit, meaning they are switched on and off with the light switches in the room, rather than being used like regular plug sockets. They are designed for appliances that take less than a 5 amp current, for example floor lamps, table lamps and fans.

How many amps is a 40 amp breaker?

The maximum number of amps that you should put through a 40-amp circuit breaker is 32 amps.

Can I put a 250 V fuse instead of 125V?

For example, a 125V fuse can be replaced with a 250V fuse of equal amplitude while the voltage of the application is 250V or lower, but a a 250V fuse can’t be replaced with a 125V fuse of equal amplitude if the voltage of the application exceeds 125V.

What does H mean on a fuse?

What is a Class H, Fuse? A UL Class H fuse is a non-current limiting, fuse that is rated to interrupt a minimum of 10,000 amps. The Class H fuse is a one-time fuse that does not have any appreciable degree of time delay. Class H fuses are rated at either 250 volts AC or 600 volts.

What do the letters on fuses stand for?

The number and the A (may be mA) is the amp rating of the fuse. The L denotes that it is a low breaking capacity or glass fuse (H is High breaking capacity and is usually a ceramic package). Taking the example above a T2AL250V fuse is a 2 Amp, Time Delay glass fuse rated for 250 Volts.
