Does the voltage of a fuse matter?
Is the voltage rating important? Yes, very important! The voltage rating of the selected fuse must be greater than or equal to the circuit voltage. Since fuses have such low resistance, the voltage rating becomes critical only when the fuse is trying to open.
What is the difference between 125 volt and 250 volt?
They are called hot wires because they are the wires used to carry the electricity. When you have two hot wires, you have two sources of 125 volts. If it requires 250 volts, then both hot wires will be used. Only the necessary voltage will be used by your application and the adapter.

Can I use 125V outlet in place of 250V?
In fact, I’m pretty sure that’s why they melted. You can you can safely use 125 volt receptacle with 220 volts going to it or 240.
Can I plug 125V to 120V?
2 Answers. 120v and 125v outlets are nominally identical. You must have something miswired, or you have a rare faulty unit. Be sure you have power connected to the LINE side.
Will a 250 volt fuse work on a 125 volt circuit?
A 250 volt fuse is likely to blow out a 125 volt electronics that was not designed to withstand such high power. You don’t want to send 250 volts to a 125 volt circuit. I still cannot figure out how a mere fuse can do the voltage step up.
Is 250v/4a safe to replace a power supply fuse with?
Fuses are designed to protect over-current, not over-voltage. Therefore as long as the fuse amperage is sized appropriately and as long as your fuse voltage meets or exceeds your application voltage the fuse will safely protect. So, its ok to replace with 250V/4A?
Can you use a higher voltage fuse in a low voltage appliance?
You can readily use a fuse of a higher voltage rating at a lower voltage and stocking higher rated fuses would reduce inventory carried. It is also common to see 240 volt rated fuses in appliances because the device is designed to work in NA and overseas where the higher voltage is in common use.
How important is the voltage rating of a fuse?
Yes, very important! The voltage rating of the selected fuse must be greater than or equal to the circuit voltage. Since fuses have such low resistance, the voltage rating becomes critical only when the fuse is trying to open. For example, you can use a 500V rated fuse in any circuit that has up to 500V.
