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

Hello everyone I have a small Kenwood blender with a thermal fuse that blew. The specification is a pigtail ceramic 3NT 1.6A x 250V fuse. The only one I could find is Schurter 8020.0516.PT https://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDetail/Schurter/8020.0516.PT?qs=wYWahoWfBn9OGUlaTs9O0Q%3D%3D This works out at £12.34 inc postage. I could easily buy a new blender for that. I can much more easily find a 1.5A x 250V or 2A x 250V fuses on Ebay for a couple of pounds. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304416666061?itmmeta=01HY68JVTB36CPPF2TMYPA6DSD&hash=item46e0a5b1cd:g:Jo8AAOSwHYVaYc3S&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4Bz8qAv6s%2FSSmt9cYc2PfYfwue6a9Oe9tw6cYoPl33BpjaEo2w9PkZ%2BY6efXnuy5dptoXgSw%2BAfihHZ3t7ArOYE8OxmaYohAIaVM5h25876ejTNifYje4kn4kTU7U%2BXyeotSFSGY5bAXv7tz7Asop2GR6oaVRkDEHjglQxeVl0xNoPObKylNNOCUuJVo0bRvtbwRwtYL7G8koQfSpUf09nx3AJKFCReVzHhrDArmotIby9%2BBoUZVwmIRlcqIHEHEebu6MJ9%2B%2BHhaBRC6EntM7pzqP3I%2FdYEwVgX4CMOkeaWQ%7Ctkp%3ABFBMrr3LyPFj https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300613000180?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160811114145%26meid%3Da45749495caf4d55a8d28acfe3e0db1f%26pid%3D100667%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D126435783772%26itm%3D300613000180%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2351460%26brand%3DPanasonic&_trksid=p2351460.c100667.m2042 Could I use either of these safely, and if so what could happen? I am assuming the 1.5A would simply blow sooner when the motor is overloaded, whereas the 2A might be less safe and allow the windings to overheat? Thanks |

Just use the 1.5A fuse That is 360W , it is not going to blow unless there is a problem. |
| fzabkar:
"1.5a Pico fuse 250v F1.5a 250v Axial Quick Blow Fast" This fast fuse is not a suitable replacement for a thermal fuse. |

Please check what kind of fuse you need for your blender. A thermal fuse that prevents overheating or a electrical fuse that prevents overcurrent. Can you post a photo? |

Motors tend to have very high inrush currents. Also, fuses are quite imprecise in general, so 1.6A vs 1.5A is unlikely to be a meaningful difference. |
