Hi,
I've googled this but just want to check I have this correct and, as I see that a number of people have switched their fuses from glass to blades, I'm hoping someone can confirm.
My understanding is that glass fuses used in old British cars are rated at the current they are designed to blow while modern blades are rated at what they are designed to hold at.
When I started trying to compare the fuses in my Ninety to the blade ratings I come out with the following. Are these correct?
Glass Blade
17A 7.5A
12A 5A
10A 5A
8A 3A
2.5A 1A
The ratings that do not exist when divided by 2 I am assuming are the next 1 down.
So, do I have this right or have I got it all wrong and going to set fire to the Landy? I'd hate to do that having spent my whole holiday getting it ready for the MOT!
