00:00So I blew a fuse in my workbench power supply last week, and it turned into a whole rabbit hole
00:04because it turns out most of the cheap glass fuses floating around online are, frankly, junk.
00:10Ceramic is where it's at, better arc suppression, higher braking capacity,
00:14and it won't shatter in spray glass across your board.
00:17So I ordered a pile of them, tested what I could,
00:20and these are the 5 ceramic fuse deals that actually impressed me.
00:24Let's get into it.
00:26First up is the 10-piece RO58 ceramic cartridge set, these are the 6x30mm guys,
00:32rated 500V, fast blow, and they follow the BS-1362 standard.
00:37What I like here is the sheer range, you can grab anything from a delicate half-amp all the way
00:42up to a chunky 30-amp.
00:44That 500V rating is the headline, honestly, that's mains-level protection, not the flimsy 250V stuff.
00:51At $4.61 for 10, and with over 4,000 of these sold at a straight 5-star rating,
00:57this is the one I'd keep in the drawer for appliance plugs, heaters, and anything running off a proper high
01:02-voltage line.
01:03Now if you're more of a fix-whatever-lands-on-the-bench person, take a look at this 50-piece
01:08assortment kit.
01:09It's 10 different amperage values, 5 of each, in the standard 5x20mm size, 250V, fast-acting, covering quarter-amp up
01:18to 20 amps.
01:19And it comes in a little compartment case, which sounds minor until you've spent 10 minutes squinting at unlabeled fuses.
01:26$5.80 for 50 fuses works out to about 11 cents each.
01:304.7 stars, over 4,000 sold.
01:34If you repair electronics even occasionally, just buy this one and stop thinking about it.
01:40Stepping up to industrial territory, this is the 20-pack of 10x38mm fast-blow ceramic fuses.
01:47These are the fat ones you'll find in solar combiner boxes, DIN rail holders, motor controllers, that kind of thing.
01:54500V rating, and they go from 1 amp all the way to 32 amps, compatible with RO15, RT18, RT14, and
02:02RT19 holders.
02:03The wild part is the price, $2.84 for 20.
02:07That's 14 cents a fuse for genuinely heavy-duty protection.
02:12Perfect 5-star rating too.
02:14If you've got a solar setup or any 3-phase gear, grab these.
02:19Number 4 is a flexible one, this listing lets you pick either 5x20 or 6x30mm, at 250V, with an absolutely
02:27enormous spread of ratings.
02:29And I mean enormous, quarter amp, half amp, all the way up through 30, including oddballs like 3.15 amp
02:36and 7 amp that are weirdly hard to find anywhere else.
02:39That's the real selling point.
02:42$3.18, 4.8 stars, over 4,000 sold.
02:46When you've got a board that specifically calls for a 3.15 amp and nobody stocks it, this is the
02:51listing you come back to.
02:53And last, the budget king, these Jovino 10x38mm fast-blow ceramics start at $0.77.
03:01$0.77.
03:03You choose your quantity, 5 up to 20 pieces, and your amperage from half an amp to 32 amps, all
03:08rated at 500V and fitting the standard RO15, RT18, and RT14 holders.
03:14Perfect 5-star rating across nearly 4,000 orders.
03:18Look, if you just need 2 or 3 specific fuses and don't want to buy a whole assortment kit, this
03:23is the cheapest way in.
03:25Genuinely hard to argue with.
03:28Alright, all 5 links are down in the description if you want to check current pricing.
