Tommygunn Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Just wondered whether anyone has tried this? Can you simply drop them in as a replacement for the original and will they react in same fashion, faster or slower? Thanks, Tom. Link to post Share on other sites
richwuk Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 Yes I have. I was using 2 16V / 7A poly fuses in parallel or they "blow" quite quickly (once cooled its working fine again) in a 18:1 ratio gearbox with a 'standard' motor. They work well, just don't make sure you don't go too low or too high, depending on build you may need to use something a bit higher amperage than I used. Link to post Share on other sites
Tommygunn Posted October 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 That's cool. Yes, I'm only running an 18:1, 1Joule set up. Where did you get your parts from? I'm having trouble finding large Amperage components and so far have only found a 10A rated part. Do they do 15 or 20Amp as a single component? Tom. Link to post Share on other sites

I would of thought with a pair of 10A fuses you should be okay, thinking about it, it was orginally recommended to run a pair - the ones I have weren't that big. I have seen larger sizes for sale buy I think they were much bigger. I use to order them from the big electronic suppliers in the UK, such as farnell: https://uk.farnell.com/w/c/circuit-protection/thermistors/resettable-fuses/radial-leaded-pptcs Rich Link to post Share on other sites
Tommygunn Posted October 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Nice One. I'll have a look at Farnells and maybe put a couple in parallel. Cheers, Tom. Link to post Share on other sites
Emit Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 Are they meant to get hot and can they melt plastic/wires? I installed two of these 16v 10A in parallel and they got up to 85 degrees Celsius after 15-20 seconds on full auto before I lost my nerve and stopped testing. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153536855033 Link to post Share on other sites
