I just finished building an amp and it blew the fuse I had installed. The amp has 8 el84 tubes in PPP with 3 12ax7 for the driver/splitter and 2 5v4 rectifier tubes.
At the start of the build I just used a 3A fuse as a reasonable value. But after a total of maybe 50 hours of play it just blew the 3 amp fuse after about 4 hours of continuous use. I am thinking my fuse is too low in amperage so I was wondering what factors I need to know in order to make a good choice for fuse rating. Thanx in advance and best regards, Dak
