What fuses are needed for 240 volt appliances?

The fuse size required for a 240-volt appliance depends on its power rating. The general rule is to use a fuse that is rated slightly higher than the appliance's power rating in amps. Here is a table showing the recommended fuse sizes for common 240-volt appliances:

| Appliance | Power Rating (Watts) | Recommended Fuse Size (Amps) |

|---|---|---|

| Air conditioner | 1200-1500 | 15 |

| Clothes dryer | 3500-5000 | 30 |

| Electric furnace | 4500-7500 | 40 |

| Electric oven | 2500-3500 | 25 |

| Range | 4500-7500 | 40 |

| Dishwasher | 1200-1800 | 15 |

| Refrigerator | 350-600 | 5 |

Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the specific fuse size recommended for your appliance. It's also important to use a fuse of the correct type, such as a regular or slow-blow fuse.
