I looking for a replacement fuse for my DPC 750. The fuse in it is a ceramic 15a 250v fuse.
I can order one in multiple packs but I'm not interested in 4 to 6 of these as they are expensive. Some vendors list them as a microwave fuse.
Internet vendors want to SHIP them for around $17.00 a pop plus cost of the fuses. It appears you must order them on line from Radio Shack....bummer, can't walk in and buy them. 
I would appreciate hearing from someone that might have one or two that would be willing to sell and ship for a reasonable price.
Also Mike Brown if you see this could you supply me with the part number for the fuse so I can check with the Peavey Parts Department.

That must be a LOUD amplifier! You will run 15*250 = 3750 watts thru there before the fuse opens. |

But Earnest, it will only have 120V to play with, so that's "only" 1875 W. After all, the fuses in my Kenworth are rated at 250V, but will RARELY see anything over 14.5.
Your point still stands. That's a honkin' great fuse.
And with the efficiency of Class D, I'd say that fuse will only blow with a dead short. You'd think they'd put in a fuse just over full power draw.

I just looked at the Peavey DPC750 manual and the 15 amp fuse is correct.
Along with the electronics there is also a squirrel cage type cooling fan (loud fan). |

| Check with your local electric supply house. I'm betting they have them in stock or can get one ASAP. if you send me a pic of the fuse, I might be able to see what I can do for you. |

Found them locally. Radio Shack's web site says "on line only". My local store had them.
About the value of the fuse, yea they are listed as 250v/15a, ceramic 314 style. This is the same fuse used in microwaves.
Earnest it's a good amp but not that good...lol
Thanks Don for offering
Lane dead short indeed, I was installing a new on/off switch and touched the side of the chassis...smoke and sparks

Hint: when working on SW1, unplug the mains cable.

| If you keep working on your amp with the power cable connected to the mains, you won't need any fuses. As a matter of fact, you won't need anything. |
