Solar System Suppliers

Martin Said:

I need to obtain some 12volt DC fuses for a solar system. does anybody know of a supplier in the UK?

We Answered:

A fuse is rated by current i.e 1A or 200mA or 5A etc. As long the fuse is used on voltages below its voltage rating you can use it. So a 250 volt fuse can be used on a 12 volt system. It is the current that matters in rupturing the fuse, as it depends on the heating effect given by the square of the current through the fuse multiplied by the resistance of the fuse.
You could of course go to any car or caravan accessories shop and get a 12 volt fuse together with the appropriate fuse carrier.
