⚡ Menumaster Microwave High Voltage HRC Fuse 20A | Ceramic Barrel 5AG 38x10mm 500VDC – 660VAC

Replace a blown or damaged microwave fuse with this high-quality Ceramic Barrel HRC Fuse, suitable for selected Menumaster commercial microwave ovens and other compatible high-voltage electrical applications.

This 20 Amp HRC ceramic fuse features a 5AG barrel design, approximately 38mm × 10mm, with a rated voltage of 500VDC / 660VAC and 100kA surge interrupting capability as marked on the fuse.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: HIGH-VOLTAGE MICROWAVE COMPONENT

Microwave ovens contain lethal high-voltage circuits, including high-voltage capacitors that can retain dangerous electrical energy even after the appliance has been unplugged.

This fuse should only be replaced by a qualified and experienced microwave appliance technician using the correct replacement specification.

🔧 Product Overview

The Menumaster Microwave HRC Fuse 20A is a ceramic barrel fuse designed to provide overcurrent protection in compatible electrical circuits.

The fuse is manufactured in a compact 5AG / 38mm × 10mm barrel format and is marked:

5AG – 38 × 10mm
500VDC / 660VAC
100kA Surge

A blown fuse can prevent a microwave oven from operating. Replacing the fuse with the correct specification can help restore electrical circuit protection.

20 Amp HRC High Rupture Ceramic Barrel Fuse

🛠️ Common Reasons to Replace the Fuse

A replacement fuse may be required if the original fuse is:

❌ Blown
❌ Open circuit
❌ Damaged
❌ Burnt or overheated
❌ No longer providing circuit continuity
❌ Failed due to an electrical fault

Important

A blown microwave fuse can be a symptom of an underlying electrical fault. Simply replacing the fuse may not resolve the cause of the failure.

🧠 Why Use the Correct HRC Fuse?

Using the correct fuse specification helps:

✔ Provide appropriate circuit protection
✔ Protect electrical components from excessive current
✔ Maintain the manufacturer’s intended protection characteristics
✔ Restore operation after a compatible fuse has failed
✔ Reduce the risk associated with incorrect fuse substitution

Never replace a fuse with a higher current-rated fuse simply because it continues to blow.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is included?

1 × 20A HRC Ceramic Barrel Fuse.

What is the fuse rating?

The fuse is rated at 20 Amps.

What size is the fuse?

Approximately 38mm × 10mm, 5AG ceramic barrel style.

What voltage is the fuse rated for?

The fuse is marked 500VDC / 660VAC.

What is the surge rating?

The fuse marking indicates 100kA surge/interrupt capability.

Is this a microwave high-voltage fuse?

It is a high-voltage-rated HRC ceramic fuse suitable for compatible microwave electrical applications where the original fuse has the same specification.

Always verify the original fuse specification and microwave model before installation.

Can I use this fuse if my original fuse is a different size?

No. The replacement fuse should match the required current rating, voltage rating, physical size and fuse characteristics specified for the appliance.

Can I replace the microwave fuse myself?

Microwave ovens contain potentially lethal high-voltage circuits. Fuse replacement and diagnosis should be carried out by a qualified appliance technician with appropriate training and equipment.

Why did my microwave fuse blow?

A blown fuse can result from various electrical faults. Replacing the fuse without diagnosing the underlying fault may cause the new fuse to blow again.

⚠️ SAFETY WARNING

DANGER – HIGH VOLTAGE

Microwave ovens contain high-voltage electrical circuits and capacitors capable of causing serious injury or death.

✔ Disconnect the appliance from mains power before servicing
✔ Service only by a qualified technician
✔ Follow the appliance manufacturer’s service procedures
✔ Use the correct replacement fuse specification
✔ Never bypass or short-circuit the fuse
✔ Never replace the fuse with a higher-rated fuse
✔ Do not work on microwave high-voltage circuits unless properly trained
