I do seem to recall that european fuses may be "blow' at rated current and U.S. are'flow through" at rated current.
changing fuse ratings should make no difference to how the device operates, fuse resistance is minuscual compaired to the impedance of the device. Reminds me of a guy who called us wanting to know what kind of solder to use on his vaccuum tube projects so as to get less joint resistance. Since tubes are high impedance devices, joint resistance is totally irrellivant, but he just wouldn't believe, or maybe one should say he "wanted to believe" against facts. Tom
