Fuse rating for AC

(1/3) > >>

RayB:
I am in my final wiring stages and wish to know what rating of fuse I should use to go between the plug that goes out to the wall socket, and my on/off switch.

I live in North america, so we're talking 110/120v.

I found a fuse holder and fuse I pulled from a very poorly wired generic JAMMA cab, and it's rated 5A 250. Is this the correct amperage?

RayB:
Found the info on Bob Roberts' site. He says 3A 125v. So looks like my fuse is too high.

Nipedley:
It does change from cab to cab, Bob Roberts information is likely intended as a guide - my Terminator machine wont run on anything less than a 5A fuse - and that is also what is stated in the manual, so whatever works for you I guess!

ChadTower:

Yeah, it's definitely an individual thing.  You're going to be best served by summing up the amperages drawn by each component in the cab under max load.
