I have an Audiovox *flat panel in the shop for repair. There is an
open *7,0 amp chemical fuse


** You mean a Polyswitch *- *right ?

( Polyswitch *= a self re-setting, polymer based PTC device )

The term "chemical fuse" *is a real stinker and vary rarely used by anyone.

Can it do any
harm to replace the 7.0 amp chemical fuse with a 7.0 amp AGC type?

I was under the impression that a polyswitch was a self resettable
device, sort of like a circuit breaker.Lenny
