Yet another Zerozone PSU fuse issue.




Another stock fuse value in question; this time it's a lower-current Zerozone 50VA linear power supply.

I have the 5VDC/3A version, and the 12VDC/3A version; the stock fuse of both versions is 5A 250V 5mm x 20mm glass fuse, which is a higher rated fuse for AC than I would expect for 3A maximum DC load. This is the opposite situation vs. the higher-current Zerozone 100VA linear power supply issue, with a seemingly under-valued fuse rating.

Zerozone 50VA PSU - User-selected output voltage / current options:

1. 5VDC / 3A

2. 9VDC / 3A

3. 12VDC / 3A

4. 15VDC / 2.7A

5. 8VDC / 2.5A

6. 24VDC / 2A

Since both Zerozone 50VA power supplies are used for very low-current demand components (under 1A load), I'll try a 1.6A AMR Audio silver alloy ceramic fuse with them. Unless there is substantial inrush current when the PSU is powered-on, I expect the 1.6A fuse will be very stable and perhaps sound better than the stock fuse.
