It's a universal replacement rather than a branded appliance part, so it suits any fuse holder or circuit that calls for a 20A fuse of these dimensions. You may also see the number written as 50286972-00\/0. Check both the amp rating and the physical size marked on your old fuse before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a 20A fuse blows and what to check first\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fuse is the deliberate weak link in a circuit. When current climbs past its rating, the fuse wire melts and cuts the supply before wiring or components can overheat. A blown fuse usually shows up as an appliance or circuit that is completely dead, sometimes with a blackened or broken wire visible through the fuse body. Fuses rarely fail for no reason. If a new one blows straight away, there's a fault further along, such as a shorted motor, element or damaged wiring, and that needs finding before another fuse goes in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneric universal cartridge fuse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated at 20A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.3 x 32mm body size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso listed as 50286972-00\/0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number 50286972000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCurrent rating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBody size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.3 x 32mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSwapping the fuse safely\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitch off at the wall and unplug the appliance, or isolate the circuit, before opening anything. Remove the old fuse and read the markings on its end cap so you can confirm the new one matches. Never fit a higher amp fuse to stop it blowing. If the fuse sits inside hard-wired equipment, have a licensed electrician replace it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I fit a fuse with a higher amp rating than the old one?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The rating is chosen to protect the wiring and parts in that circuit, so always fit the same amp rating and body size as the original. A bigger fuse can let a fault overheat instead of cutting the power. If a correctly rated fuse keeps blowing, the appliance needs a fault check.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44550325633102,"sku":"50286972000_G","price":23.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/50286972000-generic-20a-cartridge-fuse-6-3-x-32mm","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
