Alde 3.15a fuses

Allie

I've learned when something has a specific description that I don't understand, LEARN.  Just changed the Alde 3.15a fuse that caused me pain and suffering trying to sleep in a 40 degree trailer Thursday night.  Now, I am about to get replacement fuses for the next time (never?).  On Amazon, they have numerous 3.15a fuses.  Some are "slow burn" fuses, some are "fast acting",  some are "250v", some are "125v".  Rather than just guessing, can someone please tell me exactly what fuse I need to get?  I'm going to stock up.  Will be happy to share if anyone else needs one.

If I were to guess, that would have been it.  Thanks, Dalehalman.  Now, off to Amazon I go.

There is actuall 2 types and on the forum there has been many discussions: left one is Time/Slow and right is Fast.

I personally kept blowing left one; I called Alde and replacements they shipped were Time/Slow.

BTW: mine kept blowing when I would drive and then plug into shore power; now I have a tester/surge protector Camco 55310 and no blown fuses so far.

Razntwn... do you think the Camco 55310 is sufficient as a surge protector for the T@B?  I keep reading about others purchasing protectors in the $100++ range.

I actually went with the recommendations of PLXated but no problem thus far and no blown fuses.

Another point was PLXated stated, like me doesn't stay at many power hook up locations so I opted for basic tester and minimal surge protection.  I was blowing fuses when I hooked up at home after returning from a trip.
