Hello everyone. I bought a P15 and my local mains are mono-phasic 230VAC. I saw, from the P15 rear picture, that for 230VAC it uses a 3AH fuse even with a maximum continuous load rated at 1500VA. It should need (theoretically) a minimum 6,5 or 7A fuse, shouldn’t? Am I wrong? Thanks in advance.

The correct fuse is as per what is written next to the fuse holder [00]

Maybe I was misunderstood or I couldn’t explain it reasonably well, but I DO know that I must use a 3A fuse when connecting the P15 to the 230VAC mains. I simply don’t understand WHY since the maximum load allowed is 1500VA, which corresponds to a ~6,5A current at 230VAC. That’s the point.

Nothing more to think about. T= slow blow. So you need a 250V slow blow 3A fuse.

Mmmm…very strange. 230 x 3 = 690 watt or 120 x 5 = 600 watt.

The fuse is identified right above the fuse holder, which on the back of the P15.

Yes, it sure is as long as it’s a 120V unit.

Yes…120V unit. Thanks so much.

And what about the right fuse for a P20? Will it be 5x20mm, slow blow, 6.3 amp?

Anyone!

Just want to confirm. Is the fuse in the P15 a 5 amp slow blow H-rated 5x20mm?
