You can buy replacement 6.3 amp fuses at Radio Shack, but in a pinch you can substitute a 6.5 amp fuse. It's only slightly higher in value, so it will still blow soon enough if there's a problem.

However, this doesn't answer the question of why the original fuse blew. Fuses very seldom "just go bad", so before you start replacing a blown one you should find out what went wrong. Check the power supply rectifier diodes and filter capacitors for shorts. They sometimes break down with age or because of power line surges. Also look for shorted output IC's or transistors. If you can't do this yourself, see if any of your friends have experience servicing or let a professional fix it.

Please, don't just stick in larger fuses (or worse, wrap foil around them) when they blow. Many times I've seen what would have been a simple repair turned into scrap that way. Hope this has helped, and thanks for using Fixya!

Testimonial: "More than I can take on, I'm sure. I did spot a 'problem' Cap and diode, so I will NOT be sticking a new fuse in and expecting it to be fixed. Thanks."

Reverse polarity hook up blew fuse link. Where can i get the correct fuse link to solder into the stanley inverter pc809 800watt?

Hmmmmm, well that`s unfortunate , i can tell you that most electronic devices that connect to low voltage DC supply's are protected bye a protection diode and the fuse link you think it might be is a circuit trace internal.
an 800 watt innverter draws about 80 to 100 amp to produce the 800 watt output and you must have 2 40 amp fuses or 3 30 amp fuses customer replaceable, if you did not damage the components in your device all you kneed to do is to repair the circuit trace and replace the reverse polarity protection diode to restore normal operation

there are no fuse links internal to inverter power supply's

Hello i need a 6.3a - 125v fuse for my 100w amplifier the reson the old one blew was my step down transformer failed

You can fit a 5 amp fuse at 250volts if you can't find that one. As long as you don't exceed 6.3 amps it should be OK. It will only blow if there's a real problem. Use a quick blow if you don't know the type. Your local parts shops should stock them.

I need to replace the fuse for a used Marshall MG100HDFX that I bought. Where is the fuse located inside the head?

If the fuse is blown make sure the reason it blew is repaired before replacing the fuse. Start the amp up after replacing it with a 100 Watt light bulb in series with the hot side of the power into the unit. This will act as a current limiter to verify it is repaired and will not blow the fuse. When you open the unit the fuse will be obvious... Follow the hot side of the power cord, through the switch to the fuse.

How do I replace a fuse on a Marshall DFX 100, where is it located?

The fuse would be internal. The fuse blew for a reason, and unless you had an accident with the amp such as shorting a speaker lead, there is likely internal damage requiring servicing. Replacing the fuse without curing the original reason it blew will likely cause damage to further components.

Take the unit in for repair.

6.3a slow-blow 125v fuse

Hi, If the fuse physically fits into your unit then it will work. However- - - WARNING! Although 6.3 amps on a 250v fuse will allow the current to flow it will not afford you the circuit protection you require for a 125v circuit. If the circuit develops a fault then there is a danger that you burn out the circuit before the fuse. As you have already blown one fuse I would suggest tracking down the fault before you do any thing else.
