    The 1,600 amp glass/ceramic fuse has just blown on the wifes vibro. Is it safe to replace it with a 1,601 amp fuse, as it's the only one I have in my toolbox


    worried of Stevenage

      What? Did you finally get rid of the steam-powered vibro (Mae West model)?

      Couldn't keep up with shoveling the coal in the firebox and tooting the whistle, eh?

      You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

                  Why don't you just move to Europe? No fuses in plugs there: problem solved. Plus the plug itself isn't then the size of a brick.

                      A plug fuse only protects the flex.
