Checked Mouser, digikey, ebay an mcmaster carr. I can't find the buss fuses for my DMM. They're the little ones, 3/4" long. 600V. I need two sizes. 2 and 10A. Mouser had 22 of the two amp. Zero 10 amp. Surely someone has to have them?

 

So its a "bussmann" fuse..
now what series?
It should say on the fuse..

 

"Buss" in the generic sense. There are no more markings than the voltage and current ratings.

 

From the manufacturer maybe?

Fluke is good about parts. I don't know about others.

3/4" by ? dia.

edit.

Is only 600V the problem?

5X20 10Amp seem common in other voltages.

 

It really helps when you list your location for this type of question. If you are from the States then Radio Shack carries a large line of fuses.

Max, those aren't rated for 600v.

And "yes" @ inwo

Manufacturer was a good suggestion. It's a UEI . (I really need to upgrade). My google search led to testequipmentdepot.com. They have them! $7 each! I might just take that $14 dollars and put it towards a used Fluke 45.

What do you traditionally work on?
If not working on 600 v power line equipment you should find no difference, the voltage only affects the sweep through and the open circuit danger.
Apart from that they will work.

Yes, I realize that.

I saw bins of 600V fuses at Grainger, the last time I was there.

The deal is, you have to use a 600V fuse to qualify for a certain safety level certification.
If I ever work 440V again, I'll go buy the right fuse.

 

I believe fluke is going with an 11A fuse instead of the 10A now. Just fyi. Don't quote me on that though.

 

Anything to make you buy the parts from the manufacturer.

It's called the, "captive parts" program.
Intentionally designing stuff to use parts that nobody else can provide.

 

LOL.. fuseco? Really? I don't need a pallet of them! They're a distributor. I already posted I've found them for $7 each. I thought that was high.

 

Yup... pretty much blows, #12.... (like the pun?)
