Greetings from the "meeting place" state, Tennessee.
I recently turned on my newly acquired oscilloscope and it promptly blew its mains fuse.
I removed the fuse and checked the current. Initially the current jumps when the switch is flipped; but it quickly comes down well under the fuse rating amperage. The required fuse is a 0.5A slow blow 100-115 V 50-60Hz. The fuse I found in it was a 0.5 A, but not a slow blow.
My question is should I just replace the fuse with the appropriate slow blow and not worry about it, or should I do that and also look for what and why the unit briefly draws more than the 0.5 A when switched on??
Thanks,
