In Reply to: RE: How do I determine the fuse current rating for a new amp? posted by vinnie2 on August 01, 2015 at 14:36:40
If I go by the "fish" method I would have 4 amps for the 2 5v4, 4.8 amps for the 8 el84, and about 1 amp for the 3 12ax7. Then I would need to add the B+ current consumption to that. That would add up to about 10 amps. I don't that is the right way to calculate the fuse rating. regards, Dak

Just as an example to get you started...........
So the 4 amps at 5 volts for the 5v4's would only be 20 voltamps (volts times amps)
20va at 120 volts would be 167ma. (.167 amps).
