Replacement Fuse for VCR

[Welchs101]

Hi,

My VCR blew a fuse. THe original fuse is one of those glass cylindrical fuses rating is 1.6A/125V.

At radio shack they have a 1.6A/250V fuse same size (5mmx 20mm).....

can i use the 1.6A/250V fuse? or should i use a different one?

Voltage rating of the fuse must be equal to, or greater than, what would become the open circuit voltage. For example, a glass tube fuse rated at 32 volts would not reliably interrupt current from a voltage source of 120 or 230 V. If a 32 V fuse attempts to interrupt the 120 or 230 V source, an arc may result.
