what kind of fuse is this?

[preppystud]

so i finally hired a thermostat technician to come and help me with this thermostat's problem. it turned out that it was due to this fuse.

if i knew that it was this fuse, i would have changed it myself. it is so easy to do!




anyway, can anyone tell me the name of this type of fuse? so i can find more information about it, etc.

thanks.

In-line fuse. Used to be common in automotive installations.

I'd replace the fuse holder to accept a standard 3A blade fuse.

Preppy stud,

The Fuse should be fine, as long as the amperage of the fuse doesn't exceed the VA rating of the Systems transformer. The actual rating of the "Tranny"/ Transformer should be on the Transformer, & if not, ... If You contact the Manufacturer of your Unit, & give them the Model# & Serial number, they'll be able to provide you with the proper Fuse Size.

One problem is, to the best of my knowledge... That Fuse/ Fuse Holder, didn't come with your Unit, ... Someone , for whatever reason put that there, after it was installed

thanks for the answers.

1. how much does a fuse cost ?　the technician charged me $80 to replace it, of course, he had to check other places to make sure that it wasn't due to other problems, etc. is that a normal price?

2. he replaced it with a total black one. the white one somehow melted. he told me that it was a cheap one. how much does a black fuse cost usually? it is not transparent.

thanks.
