http://cpc.farnell.com says there is no such part.


sorry, it is FF01458.


Thanks.

Voltage rating, AC:250V
Current, fuse rating:10A
Current, breaking capacity AC:200A


If I had inherited equipment which included a 3 kV DC supply
charging a cubic metre or so of capacitors via a couple of dozen
ordinary 200 V bulbs in series then I would have thought about such
a fuse and then replaced it with something suitable.

We don't know precisely what caused the fuse to operate, but we do
know that the fuse was unable to break the current which was flowing
at the time.
