??? The voltage rating of a fuse is VERY important. I don't know how much damaged Marine electronic gear I've seen over the years where someone used a 120v fuse instead of a 12v fuse of the same amperage. P = VI, power equals volts times amps.

Hi!
There would not normally be a voltage rating for a fuse, because they work on the amount of current passed, not the voltage. 5 amps at 1 volt is the same as 5 amps at 110 volts as far as a fuse is concerned. A fuse has a very low resistance, and works (blows) only on the basis of the differential voltage between the two ends, not the absolute voltage. I=V/R if I remember correctly.
There may of course be other considerations, such as size or rate of blow, but a voltage rating will normally only refer to the amount of insulation in the construction of the fuse, etc., which prevents arcing over to other nearby components.
Have a great New Year,
Andy
