1. Stupid fuse question (score: 1): Author: joseph cianciotti <jmc987@earthlink.net>; Date: Mon, 06 Jan 2003 06:14:26 -0500; A 35 amp fuse is a 35 amp fuse, right? I hope so. I took my burnt-out 35 amp fuse (with a thin wire filament) to the local parts store and bought new ones (with a flat wide filament that narrows in t; /html/mgs/2003-01/msg00071.html (7,759 bytes)
2. Re: Stupid fuse question (score: 1): Author: Tab Julius <tab@penworks.com>; Date: Mon, 06 Jan 2003 07:14:53 -0500; Absolutely not! One (the new one with the thicker) is a slow-blow fuse. The thinner one is a fast-blow fuse. The fast-blow can protect critical circuitry. The slow-blow is for some heavier items that; /html/mgs/2003-01/msg00072.html (8,451 bytes)
3. Re: Stupid fuse question (score: 1): Author: "Telewest $PH$" <paul.hunt1@blueyonder.co.uk>; Date: Mon, 6 Jan 2003 13:48:25 -0000; The '35amp' fuse in MGBs is actually 35 amp blow, 17 amp rated. None of the circuits should draw 17 amps, let alone 35. With the exception of the 500mA Sequential Seat Belt System none of the fuses a; /html/mgs/2003-01/msg00073.html (8,778 bytes)

Re: Stupid fuse question (score: 1): Author: "David Breneman" <idcb@airborne.com>; Date: Mon, 6 Jan 2003 10:14:56 -0800 (PST); Tab Julius SEZ - I've seen lots of Slo-Blo fuses in old jukeboxes and pinball machines (which have to endure a lot of voltage spikes from the relay-based "logic" circuitry) and they all have a type o; /html/mgs/2003-01/msg00079.html (8,365 bytes)
5. Re: Stupid fuse question (score: 1): Author: Tab Julius <tab@penworks.com>; Date: Mon, 06 Jan 2003 14:00:34 -0500; I don't know how "new" it is. I have seen plenty of the spring kind - I assume there's nothing magical about the spring other than by coiling it that they get more surface area/wire in there instead; /html/mgs/2003-01/msg00080.html (8,736 bytes)
6. RE: Stupid fuse question (score: 1): Author: Chuck Renner <crenner@dynalivery.com>; Date: Mon, 6 Jan 2003 17:58:14 -0600; Well, if I'm picturing the thin/thick element that everyone else is, where the fusible material is a flat metal blade that's wide on the ends and narrows down in the center, then no, it's not terrib; /html/mgs/2003-01/msg00086.html (8,486 bytes)
7. Re: Stupid fuse question (score: 1): Author: "David Breneman" <idcb@airborne.com>; Date: Mon, 6 Jan 2003 16:07:53 -0800 (PST); Chuck Renner SEZ - That's why I asked. I've seen lots of non-SloBlo fuses in higher amperage ratings with the wide-thin-wide element, but I'd never heard that such an element is indicative of a SloBl; /html/mgs/2003-01/msg00087.html (8,774 bytes)
8. Re: Stupid fuse question (score: 1): Author: "Bob D." <bobmgtd@insightbb.com>; Date: Mon, 6 Jan 2003 23:00:32 -0000; The current rating of a fuse is rather complex, involving time and current. Manufacturers spec their product with a maximum "sustain" current and a minimum "blow" current for a given time interval. T; /html/mgs/2003-01/msg00097.html (9,499 bytes)
9. Re: Stupid fuse question (score: 1): Author: "Bob D." <bobmgtd@insightbb.com>; Date: Mon, 6 Jan 2003 23:18:30 -0000; I agree with David. All the slow-blow fuses I have seen have a small spring. This spring pulls on a joint that is soldered together. The blow current will eventually melt the solder, and the spring w; /html/mgs/2003-01/msg00098.html (9,158 bytes)

Re: Stupid fuse question (score: 1): Author: "Telewest $PH$" <paul.hunt1@blueyonder.co.uk>; Date: Tue, 7 Jan 2003 12:37:55 -0000; The 'spring' *is* a spring and pulls away from the fusewire to break the circuit when the solder blob joining the two melts, which it does at sustained medium-rate currents.

I emailed John Twist last year posing the question as to what to replace the UK 35 amp fuses with if none were available. His reply....20 amp.

The Lucas fuses are 17amp rated, 35 amp blow. If the 20 amps refers to rated current that is potentially (ho ho) higher than the wiring and connectors are designed fo; /html/mgs/2003-01/msg00116.html (8,424 bytes)

The act of breaking the circuit would prevent any further damage in that ci; /html/mgs/2003-01/msg00118.html (8,553 bytes)
