Quad Winding Fuse Repair MEP-803a and MEP-802a

[PETE01]

Reading the different publications I found regarding the addition of a fuse in line with terminal 8 of the voltage regulator:

Some pubs require a 250 V /3 amp fuse and other require a 600 V/3 amp fuse. Does anybody know which is the best to use? Does the 250 volt fuse blow out too easily?

Thanks for your insight. Pete

Both fuses would blow out at under the same overload condition.
The voltage rating of the fuse has to do with how much voltage potential the open fuse can withstand without flashing over and re-energizing the compromised load circuit.

So the better fuse would be the 600V rated one.

Howdy,
You might have already found it, but here is the TB which covers this.

Thanks for sending. This is the document I was talking about. There was an earlier version which noted the fuse as 250 volts instead of 600. I was wondering why there was a difference and I think I did get my response above. Pete
