| Can I use different amperage fuses for a blender? |

As that's a standard fuse rather than a thermal one, the replacement can safely be soldered rather than crimped, reinforce the joints with adhesive lined heatshrink. It's also sometimes even possible to pull the crimped-on end caps off the ends of the existing fuse and re-fit them to a standard 20mm ceramic type (ensure that the ends are still a tight fit and again secure with heatshrink). The (lack of) mechanical termination of that motor winding in a high vibration environment is sheer class! ::) Make sure that you secure the fibreglass sleeve back over the fuse and enameled wire with a cable tie to avoid shorts. |

--- Quote from: wasedadoc on May 20, 2024, 10:13:34 am ---Thermal fuses are usually marked with a temperature not a current rating. The fuse in the photo looks like a glass overcurrent one, not a thermal fuse. But the connection method, ie not soldered, is certainly what is needed for a thermal fuse. Is there a possibility that an original thermal fuse has been replaced by an overcurrent one? --- End quote --- Being pedantic, too: thermal fuses also have a voltage and current rating. 🤓 |

It was oriignally in a piece of heat shrink, and zip tied to the lower part of the windings. I had to cut it open and free it to see what it was. Does that make a difference? I am inclined to agree with you, that it' s an over current fuse based on what you and others have said |

How about these?: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143372896014?itmmeta=01HYBS9JBDG03APSFSJ88EZMVB&hash=item2161b0c70e:g:ZRIAAOSwZi5drvXo&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8BSrQZDuEl6QMFKa1TXezlxhHaxmSQIHm3b%2F3%2BOytFZsXDcu3PB0QhuYTGQmcEvDwMSCDhNp%2BgzkqjNIIuspNeCDM7AE%2FnbmqK0GG1E0eTGHpNrSLqpRPqUEG6huMu8UMzIXfaTZcVe4zoFCgBUHBGQZBm%2BVsCvATESmwx6KfiOfVOAtnIhy3ttUQWqRQDwmwA2qE%2BDw8%2BMG2TTOwmd5r%2F1SmKLklA5lvsJilcv6JWzmW9IVyNTlQUZ5Qi4dHjJE%2BhJxiFysvMqfQqA12UNial5pdDyKu0Ue8hEeqUFMGeuluK246L9TuF%2F76exyfUKHCA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBM6KWm-fJj |

Still daylight robbery but at least PCArena purchase their stock from RS, Farnell etc. so you can be more confident in genuine items... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/364770625493 I'm never that happy about 10mm fuses for mains use, but at least it's ceramic and the [fault] current will be limited by the resistance of the motor. You might want to buy a spare because it most likely blew due to excessive mechanical load. P.S. Don't forget the heatshrink. Iirc, Lidl had some useful packs the other week. |
