I recently got a BASX S 10 Subwoofer in USA. The sub came with 110 volt setting and T4L fuse. I intend to use in 220-240 volt. Other than setting the switch to 220 volt the manual says I should use 1.25 amp fuse.
What kind of fuse (1.25 amp)should I use? Is it time delay or fast blow? As I see from 110 volt specification does T4L stand for time delay or lag 4 amp fuse? It is confusing as Emotiva specifies 2 amp fuse for 110 volts i.e it should be T2L I presume.
Until I solve this issue I cannot use the sub in 220 volts. Can I continue with T4L fuse which came with the amp for short periods at low volume in 220 volts till this issue is sorted out?

From page 9 of the manual , says 1 fuse of each value is provided
Note: If you change the Line Voltage setting, you should also change the FUSE in the BasX to the appropriate value (one fuse in each value is provided with your BasX subwoofer).

Use a time delay (slow blow) fuse..... Ad, yes, the fuse rated for 120 VAC will work at 230 VAC - but will give you a little less protection. I recently got a BASX S 10 Subwoofer in USA.

Thanx Keith. Hi dougport . Yes, I read the manual. But the both the fuse in the fuse drawer were T4L and 5T was also written. As such the doubt. Now Rory has replied to my mail as below " The fuse that ships in the unit is T4L (4 amps, slow-blow) for 115 volt sources. When you double the voltage, you cut the current needs in half, so the appropriate fuse will be half the size of the 115V fuse, which will be 2 amps. The slow-blow designation does not change, so the correct fuse code is T2L. If we recommend something smaller, our manual may need to be updated. If you cannot get the T2L fuse locally, you may need to order it through an electronics parts supplier, or eBay" Now it is clear. Thanks Rory. |
