shenhui 350 power supply fuse. fast or slow acting

[Clark Pace]

my fuse has blown. it says f6a 250 on the fuse. Does f mean fast acting? Does it matter

[Keith Colson]

Match it to the one you removed. If it has a spring inside the glass tube then it was a slow fuse. If it is just a piece of wire inside the old fuse then it was a fast one.

I replaced the fuse. Turnedo on the machine and it blew again. So I think I'm going to have to see where to get a new power supply. Anyone know of a company that sells PS for a shenhui? The PS I'm replacing is a 350 50watt

[John Noell]

If you're not in a hurry you can get it from Shenhui. The guy I dealt with is John Wang <johnlaser at 163.com>. Helpful if not very knowledgable.

I am with John on this order it from China and you will have it in a few days I now import just about everything I use having said that I am in Ireland

[Clark Pace]

A few days? Wow when I ordered my ps from china on my personal machine it took 2 weeks.

[Keith Colson]

Beware that Chinese power supplies generally have very poor quality electrolytic capacitors. For about 1/2 an hour labour and 30 bucks you can change them all out for Chemicon or Rubicon capacitors and extend the life times 10. I do this on my power supplies and routers etc.

Clark we use DHL for items we want fast China post would take twice as long and you cant track it which can be a pain

Last thing I ordered from China was a circuit board, came from Hong Kong via DHL. Three days and the main hub for them is in Ohio? So it spent some time on a truck coming back to Iowa. Cost was $24.50 USD.
