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.

No, you should not use a 32V 15A fuse in an appliance that requires a 125V 15A fuse. The voltage rating of the fuse is important for safety, and using a lower voltage fuse can result in the fuse not providing adequate protection and potentially causing a safety hazard. Always use the recommended fuse rating for your appliance.
No, it is not safe to use a 250V 15A fuse in a 125V circuit. The voltage rating of the fuse should match or exceed the circuit voltage to ensure safety. Using a lower voltage rated fuse can lead to overheating and potentially create a fire hazard. Always use the correct fuse rating for your circuit.
No, it is not safe to replace a 250V 10A fuse with a 125V 15A fuse. The voltage rating of the fuse must be equal to or greater than the system voltage, and the amperage rating must be equal to or lower than the rated current of the circuit. Using a lower voltage or higher amperage fuse can lead to safety hazards, including potential fire risks.
No, it is not safe to replace a 125V 20A fuse with a 220V 20A fuse. Fuses are designed to protect electrical circuits from overloading, and using a higher voltage fuse could lead to damage or fire hazards in the circuit. Always replace a fuse with the same voltage and amperage rating as the original.
Yes, fuses of a higher voltage can be used safely. What is not recommended is to use a lower voltage fuse on higher voltages.
