Fuse types
Whats the difference between a slow blow fuse & a anti surge fuse?
We had a new (system) Worcester Greenstar 18 Ri Central Heating Boiler, fitted 8 years ago.
It started with a leaking Y valve in the airing cupboard, which is inconvenient, but in the current CV climate it was bearable.
The other day the boilers power whent off.
I pulled it apart, and followed the fault guide in its installation booklet, which said to start by checking 2 fuses.
The first mains fuse inside the boiler, had failed, so I replaced it with a spare that was included inside the boiler.
It ran fine for about 5 days, then because the weather was hot (remember that?)
I reset the timer to stop the heating coming on in the morning, so now it was just heating the water.
Later that day, I went to turn on the heating, and the fuse failed again.
I tried a new fuse from my old supply of fuses, and that failed instantly.
The book says this fuse is a SLOW BLOW, and it's marked: [F] T2AH250VP
My replacement is labeled: T2A / 250
So is my replacement fuse OK ?
