Power supply fuse question

Feb 12, 2005 5 Replies

Hi,



I bought a used variable DC power supply (0-70V, 0-20A) that was used by its previous owner with 220V AC input (switchable to 110, which is what I would want). The specs say that the two fuses on the back of the power supply's input should be "8 AT" for 220, which they currently are, and "16 AT" for



110, which I need to obtain. My question is, what does the "T" in "AT" stand for assuming that the "A" is "Amps"? Any idea where I could find this fuse?

Here's a link to the manufacturer's sight (Delta-Elektronika) for the power supply. Mine is the SM7020-D:

Thanks in advance, James


In response to what James H. posted in news:g4vPd.370647$6l.363180@pd7tw2no:

The T means anti-surge, also known as slo-blo. Any 16A anti-surge fuse will do, if it's the right size.

Joe Soap. JUNK is stuff that you keep for 20 years, then throw away a week before you need it.

Slow. You bought a dutch PSU. T is for 'Traag' or slow blowing.

Kind regards, Gerard Bok

Thanks for all replies. I guess I can now say that I know at least a word in Dutch. ;o)

I'll second that! You learn something new every day! Thanks!
