Do you always have spare fuses in your amp?
If you operate a tube amplifier, the golden rule is to always have spare tubes AND FUSES in your gig bag. Especially important – all of your spare fuses should be pre-inspected to be the correct value fuse your amp requires.
What happens when a fuse blows on an amplifier?
The fuse is in the amplifier to protect the amplifier’s circuit from tube failure and other extreme voltage issues! When the fuse blows, its not the fuse that’s actually bad. Obviously a blown fuse will no longer allow the amp to function… and that’s by design.
Why does a 20 amp fuse need to be replaced?
A 20 amp fuse used to replace a 30 amp fuse may blow due to loading, so a reduction in load is required by not running everything on that circuit at the same time. Replace the 20 amp fuse with the proper 30 amp fuse for that circuit as soon as possible, as this will allow you to return to normal loading on that circuit.
How do you change the fuse on an electric car?
The MAIN is designed for (2) 60 amp 250 volt fuses, and the range is designed for (2) 40 amp 250 volt fuses. With the fuses and the holders still in the fusebox, touch one probe to an unpainted metal surface of the fusebox.

Can a fuse be changed to a larger value?
The fuse or circuit breaker is selected based on the size of the wire at the time the wire was installed, and it should not be changed to a larger value. The only way to correct the problem is to correct any problem with the appliance if it is rated at or below 80% of the circuit breaker or fuse amp rating.
