24volt 'old style' fuses

kim · 02-13-07, 05:30 PM

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on 24 volt old style tube fuses? I need a few for my 24 to 12 volt converters and I would prefer to buy in bulk.

12v and 24v use the same SFE/AGC buss fuses rated at 32v

this should help

A Fuse is a fuse IMOP. Rated for amperage, not voltage. Can you get one that fits?

Old stlye you must be refering to glass fuse? Auto stores sell them.

I didn't realize that fuses were not rated for voltage. It makes me wonder why the ones I removed were stamped 24v.

Thanks for the info folks.

The old glass ones I use in planes, have a rating of 250 volts on them. So they are rated somewhat for voltage.

There may be differences. But in a 24 volt truck, when a factory worker puts the truck together, a 24v truck used different fuses(lower amperage) so they probably stamp them 24v. And maybe keep the pails the same colour.....

In theory of course.
