I bought a rackmount compressor in america last week, and in my excitement, plugged it in over here straight away, and blew the fuse. silly me. Anyway, I found out that the fuse in it is a 100 - 120 V ~: T 250 mA H, and for UK, it needs a 200 - 240 V ~: T 125 mA H. So i headded off to my local DIY, and the closest they had was a 1A fuse that size, which is considerably larger. Could i use a 1A fuse??

but are you sure you're powering it correctly? because 110V 250mA is the exact same power as 220V 125mA, so it shoultn't blow if operating correctly. is the unit 220V ready?
