I have a centrifuge that has an 8A 250V fuse that blew when I turned up the RPM to Max.
So I went to microcenter and ebay to find a replacement fuse. The origional fuse does not indicate whether it was a fast blow or slow blow fuse so I decided to try both.
I bought 8A, 250V fast blow fuse from microcenter and 8A slow blow fuses from ebay.
Inserting either of these fuses and powering on the machine results in an instant spark and destruction of the fuse.
just wth is going on? It makes makes no sense to me.
The origional fuse had a different internal wire than the replacements but that shouldn't matter. It should be sold to perform as it is rated to perform but they don't.
The origional had a glass fuse with a wire coiled around something white. The replacements were straight metal filament.
Should I go up to 10A?
