Hi Stefan. I have a similar set up to you, as you know...... And use a 5a fuse, with no problems ! :thumbup: You will certainly notice the increase in pulling power, when you have this all assembled! :bugeye: David D |

--- Quote from: andyf on April 04, 2013, 06:57:31 PM ---The motor on my lathe is 450W, and I use 3.15A time delay fuses. 3.15A might be a bit low, and I blow a fuse every three or four months (usually when I'm parting off :palm: ), but the fuses are £3 for 10 at an (expensive) local store, and it is a lot quicker and easier to replace one than to fix a fried control board. Andy --- End quote --- That's what I would do for a motor load. As a rough 'rule of thumb' work out nominal amperage, add 30%, and call it a 'Slo-Blo'. In your case 450W / 180V = 2.5A nominal. Multiply by 1.3 = 3.25A Slo-Blo. You ain't a mile away at 3.15A... :thumbup: Dave BC |
