Dredging up an old thread here.....
I'm sorting thru my stash of fuses this morning and there are several 1 1/4" ones whose stampings I can't fully decode, here are a couple of examples:
F8A250
F20AL250V
Obviously these are 8A and 20A at 250V, but what does the "F" stand for? And why "20AL" instead of just "20A"? There are no other stampings on them.
Happy New Year everyone!
Quoted from G-P-E:F8A250
F = Fast
8A = 8 Amp
250 = 250V
I don't know what the "L" stands for. Are there any manufacturer symbols on it?
Nope, nothing else at all. I figured F might be fast but I have yet to see an S (or whatever letter) to denote slow or time-delay.
