I am just putting together a fairly simple Power supply. 240VAC mains powered with DC - DC converter. Max output 24VDC.
Max current about 5A DC.
I have accumulated quite a number of glass fuses of various sizes. But now I come to choose the best rating & size for my job -Horror - I ca't read the damned info stamped on the end caps. Sure I can guess but I can't even tell slow from std blow nor in most cases the current rating.
How common is this problem?
Is there a solution?
What do most folks do?
If I can't read with confidence how Can I even check that my local parts supplier has got it right?
