Your best bet is to get the right fuse, and at least try to fix the
fault before you turn the equipment on with your shiny new fuse.


For a multimeter, is it always better to use a fast blow fuse?


It depends on the multimeter. I'd stick with the fast blow fuse and stop
putting it in 'voltage' mode when you've got it connected to measure
current.


That's 'current' mode when you've got it connected to measure
voltage, yes?
