You could, yes, but it is not recommended. A 600/100 fuse is designed to handle a lot more power than a 250/100 fuse. If you were only to use a maximum of 250 volts and 100 amperes in your 'system', then yes, you wouldn't overdraw the power and things should work just fine.

Can you use 250 volt fuse in place of 600 volt fuse on a 277 volt system in a in line fuse holder?

No, use a fuse rated for the proper voltage.


Can you sub a 250 volt 1.5 amp fuse in place of a 125 volt 3 amp fuse?

Yes, you can substitute a 250 volt fuse in place of a 125 volt fuse. You just can't go the other way around. As far as 1.5 amperes in place of 3 amperes, well, you've got a problem there because the fuse will blow at about 1.5 amperes instead of 3 amperes, so the intended load will not be met. All of this, of course, assumes that the physical size of the fuse is the same. Bottom line is never substitute fuses.


Can a 250 volt fuse be used in a 240 volt air conditioner unit and how are they properly installed?

A fuse rated for 250 v is fine for 240 v. The fuse might be a cartridge fuse, so it must fit the available socket, or it might be fuse wire that has to be fitted in the holder correctly.


Is a fuse rated 8 volt 25 amps equal to a 8 volt 250 mp fuse?

No, a 250-Amp fuse would be much larger than a 25-amp fuse. A fuse is generally designed to have a thermal runaway and melt the connection when there is too much current for too long.


What size fuse does a Waring 18BL93 blender use?

4 amp, 250 volt (ASC) is what the fuse says on my blender


Can you use 600 volt fuses in place of 250 volt fuses on a 208 Volt System?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.If they fit, which I doubt, yes, you can use 600 volt fuses in place of 250 volt fuses so long as the amp rating is correct.YOU CANNOT USE 250 VOLT FUSES IN PLACE OF 600 VOLT FUSES !!!You can use a fuse with a higher volt rating but not a smaller volt rating than the voltage applied to the circuit.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.


Can you use a 20 amp 250 volt receptacle in place of 20 amp 125 volt?

Electrically yes it is safe but the pin configuration will be different.


What is the amperage rating of a gma T250L 250V fuse?

The GMA series of fuse is a fast acting glass tube fuse. The dimensions are 5 X 20 mm. This series of fuse's amperage span is from 63 mA right up to 8 amps. I would suggest that your fuse is rated at 250 mA or (1/4 of an amp) with a 250 volt rating.


Can you use 250 volt 1A for 230 volt 800mA?

no


Can you replace a 7 amp 125 volt fuse with a 6 amp 125 volt fuse?

I think in most applications the difference between 6.3 amps and 7 amps is meaningless. However, if your equipment calls for 6.3 amp protection, 7 amps may allow your equipment to burn up before the fuse blows.


Can you use 20 Amp with 250 Volt Fuse instead of 18 Amp with 250 Volts fuse in microwave?

Only if you want to blow up the microwave. That will let 20 amps go through before the fuse blows when the manufacture is telling you 18 amps max. <<>> Yes, you can use the 20 amp fuse. At 250 volts 2 amps is no problem and you are not going to blow up the microwave. On a fault current the 20 amp fuse will trip just as fast as an 18 amp fuse.


Will it work if you replace a 1.25 amp 125 volt fuse with a 1 amp 250 volt fuse?

Yes you can do that as long as it will fit in the fuseholder. It is acceptable to replace a lower Voltage Rated fuse with a higher but NEVER replace a higher with a lower. There are several things to consider when replacing a fuse: 1) The minimum voltage rating of the fuse is equal to or higher than the voltage of the circuit you are placing it in 2) The Amperage rating of the fuse does not exceed the capacity of the circuit you are trying to protect. Always replace a fuse with one that has the same amperage rating. 3) The interrupting rating of the fuse is sufficent for the capacity of the circuit supplying the fuse. If replacing a fuse always use one with an interrupting capacity equal to or greater than the fuse you are replacing.
