In Reply to: RE: Fuse rating question posted by John Elison on July 13, 2021 at 21:21:17
Hum, that funny. Over at Tweaker's Asylum duster is recommending a 500ma fuse in a pre-amp that came with a 200ma fuse.

Follow Ups:
Most circuits have multiple components. Consider that, with a 200 mA fuse, for example, you may lose one component before the fuse pops, but still protect other components in the circuit. With a 500 mA fuse, you may still be protected from starting a fire, but end up losing multiple components in the circuit before it pops.
Since you're the owner, you can actually use any size fuse you want that's equal to or greater than 200-mA. So long as no circuit faults occur, you'll be just fine. But, if anything should happen to go wrong, there's greater risk of serious damage when using a fuse larger than 200-mA.
Best regards,
