I'm not electronically qualified to know if the small 100 mA difference is acceptable? --- End quote --- Ideally, you would want to stick to 400ma/440ma as the meter's spec. Siba's P/N for such a beast is 7017240.0,4. Sadly, it seems no one carries them; not even as a special order. :palm: The 500ma version is readily available however, and it may have to do (it would still protect the user). The only other thing I can think of, is getting them directly from Siba or Brymen. --- End quote --- I called Siba (post #55). They don't sell direct, but to distributors. I'll try, but I'd bet Brymen is going to be another dead end in the quest to find the "UNICORN FUSE". --- End quote --- The guys at Brymen tend to be very helpful, I'm sure you'll get an answer. Quick googleing led me to this, says it's available, but I've never dealt with them: https://www.welectron.com/SIBA-701724004-Sicherung-63x32mm-04A-1000V I would just get the 700VAC 400mA version though, from TME. Or the 500mA 1kV one. Just keep the ratings in mind when using it, it's not that big of a deal for hobby uses. --- End quote --- Thanks, but that German website link looks like they don't ship to the USA. |

But in looking at the photos, these seem more like the fatter 11a main fuses. I'm not interested nor feel I should have to modify my new meter to take a replacement fuse. Brymen should have chosen a fuse that users could actually find replacements for. Starting to regret not buying a Fluke in the first place! :( |

Acording to this amazon page, fluke fuses are 34.9mmx10mm (larger than brymen) https://www.amazon.com/Fluke-203414-Digital-Multimeter-Replacement/dp/B007I2EERS |

I may have to risk buying them on EBay or Amazon, and hope they work properly. Brymen's website is horrible, and I've tried many sources as shown in above posts. |

This doesn't make any sense to me. |
