[Amps] Fuses

[Paul Kraemer]

The fuse you want is Buss ABC type like ABC 25 for a 25amp etc. Ceramic, 
250volt.
I've had good luck with several ebay stores that have them (new) along with 
free shipping.
Sold in lots of 10 usually but much less than from the traditional 
distributors PLUS free shipping.
