ANENG AN8001, 6000 count true RMS Multimeter for $14.

Diabolo:
Hello,

On DMM ANG8001 and ZT101, the 500 mA fuse is only used for the mA function !
All other functions of the DMM go through the 10A fuse !
----
The 3.6x10mm fuses are repaired by drilling them through and then passing a fuse wire recovered on a fuse 5x20mm Quick of 500mA and welding this wire on the old fuse 3.6x10mm.

Regards,
Diabolo
stj:
that is so wrong, firstly you never repair a fuse,
second the rating of the 20mm fuse was calculated based on the thickness AND length of the wire.
so you just increased the current before it blows by possibly double.

why didnt you just shift or replace the clips to use the 20mm fuse??
Diabolo:
Hello,

I did not have a 3.6x10 fuse on hand, and these seem to be untraceable on the market.
The main thing is that my DMM ZT101 works on the mA range.

I did not try to install a 5x20 fuse, the space is too small.

As for the other ranges protected by a 10A fuse, the risk is equally important to toast the DMM.


Cdlt,
Diabolo
Crumble:
I must be honest I have blown one of the fuses I had too (the 10A one). |O I have indeed repaired it by desoldering the original wire (the end caps are soldered shut) and replacing it with a strand of a 96 x 0.1mm hook-up wire. The original wire in the 10A fuse was ~0.25mm in diameter and made of copper. Nothing special here, I think the guys that made it read the wikipedia article on fusing current of copper wire here, as measured in 1888 bij Preece, there is nothing sophisticated going on here...



If you need a pre-made unit of these fuses, try these: http://eu.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=0874.500MXEPvirtualkey57610000virtualkey576-0874.500MXEP.

They do have wires on both sides, but these are easily removed. You might find these specific types at other vendors too, but you'll have to look for them yourself. I bought the 2 last 800mA fast fuses of this size at Farnell.
