    I was shopping fuses at Great Plains because I needed to make up a $5 minimum order so I could get my trimmer for the sound board on Mystic.

    Not being able to find the fuses as stated in the parts book, I sent them an email asking if maybe they had them.

    I was looking for
    10A 32 v
    .75A 250 v
    4A 32v
    20A 32v
    5A 32 v.

    Their response was that I could use 250v rated fuses for all (except the 20 amp, which only comes in 32v rating). Is that kosher?

    I think that Mouser has what I need, but I'd rather get them from Great Plains so I can have a $5 min order.

    If the originally intended fuse will blow over 32v, why is it safe to use a fuse that won't blow until the load exceeds 250V?

    Voltage rating on fuses is entirely independent of the value at which the fuse

    Thanks. Very understandable explanation
