All other things being equal, fuses rated for 250
volts and lower, work on 12, 24, and other
voltages just fine. As it was explained to me, it
has something to do with the near equivalent
inductance of that size of metal at any voltage
or some such.
suffice to say, that 5amp fuse in a 12 volt
system is the same as a 5 amp fuse in a 24 volt
system (all the way up to 250 volts).
