No. If the voltage rating of a fuse is too low for the circuit in which it is fitted then, when the fuse operates (i.e. its link melts), the circuit voltage might maintain the resulting arc within the fuse, and it will fail to protect that circuit.

Can you use a 32V 15A fuse if the appliance calls for a 125V 15A fuse?
No
Can you use a 125V 15A fuse to replace a 250V 10A fuse?
No, the voltage rating should not be exceeded. However, you could use a 250v 10a fuse for a 125v 10a fuse.
Can you use a 1.5a 125V fuse to replace a 5a 125V fuse?
It depends on what you are powering with the circuit, but probably not. The 1.5 amp fuse would blow in normal operation of the device.
Can you use a 250v 15 amp fuse for a 125v 15 amp?
Use the correct fuse and nothing else.
Can you use a 250v 3a fuse to replace a 125v 3a fuse for equipment voltage is 100volt?
Yes, fuses of a higher voltage can be used safely. What is not recommended is to use a lower voltage fuse on higher voltages.
Can you use a 32V 15A fuse if the appliance calls for a 125V 15A fuse?
No
Can you use 7amp 125V fuse replace 6.3amp 125V fuse?
no.. it could damage your electrical components.
Can you use a 125V 15A fuse to replace a 250V 10A fuse?
No, the voltage rating should not be exceeded. However, you could use a 250v 10a fuse for a 125v 10a fuse.

Use the correct fuse and nothing else.
Can you use a 15a 220v fuse for a 15a 32v FUSE?
If it fits you are fine. You are at the same current and the voltage rating is higher.
Can you use a 250V 3.15A fuse to replace a 125V 3.15A?
yes. the 250v just means that's the maximum voltage rating the fuse can handle .. so it can def handle 125v. just not vice versa.
Can you use a 250v 3a fuse to replace a 125v 3a fuse for equipment voltage is 100volt?
Yes, fuses of a higher voltage can be used safely. What is not recommended is to use a lower voltage fuse on higher voltages.
Can you use a 5A 125V fuse to replace a 4A 125V fuse?
It is always best to replace with equal or higher rating. However, there may be applications where it would be fine, such as a low voltage circuit.
Can you use a 3 amp fuse instead of a 2.5 amp fuse for a speaker?
NO! The use of a higher rated fuse than is recommended can cause the wiring to overheat and cause a fire. Use exactly what is required.
Have a 20 plus year old microwave convection oven that took a 125v 15 amp fuse which is hard to find so can I safely use a 250v 15 amp fuse as a replacement?
Yes you can. The critical thing is that amps match. All 250 volts says is that it will work up to that value. You wouldn't, for example, use a 20 amp fuse since that could allow higher currents than the microwave could handle. The fuse blows because of excessive current.
Can a slow blow fuse be used in place of a fast blow fuse?
Any piece of machinery that is designed to use a fast blow fuse should only use a fast blow fuse. For safety reasons this could save your life instead of taking it.
