[Elecraft] new owner looking for fuses.

Correction: I believe that there are conditions where you would have 240
volts on the fuse in a standard single phase 240v circuit so it's best to
use the standard 250v fuses. Of course 250v fuses are also fine with 120v
amp wiring but the amperage will double.

230v fuses are perfect. Most people in the US will not have more than 120v
on each fuse even when running 240v. I am not sure why slow blow was
recommended, is that what the manual says? These fuses are easy to find, if
you don't see them locally try Mouser. 

This IS the forum for Elecraft products, even though it doesn't always seem
that way.

friend of mine.  He had 220 in his shack. He had 6 amp fuses in it.    I
have 110 and am looking hard for fuses for the KPA 500.  Manual says two 12
amp fuses for 115V.  tech said use slow blow ones.  Any suggestions.  Can't
seem to find a forum for Elelecraft.  Will 12 amp 230 v work????
