and to be totally honest... fuses are rated by amperage... not voltage!
12V fuses can sustain up to 32V as long as it doesn't exceed the amperage limit!

You are correct that fuses are rated by amperage and voltage alone has nothing to do with a fuse blowing. It's when the voltage increases, creating more wattage, creating more amperage, that creates a blown fuse.
Those little glass fuses are usually rated from 12v to 250v as a UL standard.

O.K.... I stand corrected on that one!

I'm looking at a package of ATC (plastic case) fuses, up to 32V...

Lockman-You pulled that one out of the fire!! Correct on Amps vs Volts and correct on 32v. So you are 2 & O for the day. Life is good in Wisconsin
