I'm trying to work on a piece of lab instrument that needs to have some
fuses replaced.

They appear to be ceramic type fuses.. The manual states that these must be
"rectifier type fuses". Regular fuses not recommended.

Can someone tell me what a rectifier fuse is? I've never heard of these
until now and my search on the web hasn't yielded
much useful information.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi...

I kinda expect to be corrected, but I'm going to
tell you that they refer only to the fact that
they're fast blow fuses (as opposed to slow blow)

Take care.

Could also be physical characteristic, that they physically appear to be a
rectifier, resistor, etc. rather than a glass type fuse device. ?? Like
some of the "chem fuses or pico fuses" now being used.

I don't know, but I would guess that the fuse may have to be rated to
operate across a power line. That is, its voltage rating is enough to
interrupt
the line power coming in.

If so, any replacement must be rated for a minimum of 230 VAC.
