Replacement fuse in K200A-2 after 110 -> 230V conversion [message #28899] Tue, 17 January 2023 05:13   claussoegaard Messages: 27 Registered: July 2022 Junior Member Possibly/probably/definitely a dumb or noob-ish question.. But here goes. After converting my K200A-2 to 230V after moving to Europe, I should replace the fuse, right? More voltage = less current, right? So the stock 3 amp fuse should be replaced by a 1.5A fuse, yeah? And the speaker fuse I should leave alone right? Since that happens after the power transformer, where things are the way the were before the conversion. Yeah? And any parts numbers recommendation from Mouser? Not sure if it should be slo or fast blow. Thanks! Report message to a moderator
