ATC and ATO are just made by different manufacturers but follow the
same standards.

I do have to disagree with you on that. The ATC and ATO are two
different ways of making the blade type car fuses. The ATC is a closed
fuse element so that water can not get in and cause corosion. The ATO
has an opening where the fuse element is and water can get in.

There is an APR fuse that is suppose to be a replacement for both of the
above.

I have not verified it, but I am thinking the is for the blade type
fuses and they are only rated for 32 volts. I may be off on the
voltage, but it is more than 24 and less than 50 volts DC.
