I've been looking for basic information on the types of fuses folks here are using on their RPCs. How many types are there? I'm familiar with smaller automotive fuses but the fuses I find in machinery don't seem to follow the pattern. Are they sold by physical dimensions and amperage rating or is there some code scheme like ATC/ATO etc.? If there are many options, in what situations would you use the different types?

Following assumes you are working with 230 volt motors, etc:

At least 250V rating. Amperage, depends on your requirement.

Sizes are 2 inches long, 1/2 inch diameter. You can get larger
sizes but it's not necessary. Go to your local electrical supply
or Home Depot.

Example for 250V 20A fuse:

Buss
NON-20
one-time fuse
class K5
