Where is the 3 amp fuse on a furnace?
If it does blow out, then it’s somewhere between the control board, that contacter, or the thermostat and its wires (have fun ;). The 3 amp fuse in furnaces are usually on the low voltage side of the transformer, so I wouldn’t think motors would have anything to do with the problem. – Tester101 Nov 9 ’15 at 12:20
Is it possible for over voltage to blow fuse?
If you think that over-voltage is blowing the fuse (unlikely, but possible) you can always use a larger fuse. While this is not recommended, there is some wiggle room. If you were to put a 4 amp 50 volt time-delay fuse in it’s place, you would still provide short-circuit protection while bypassing this slight (ish) problem.
What happens when a fuse is blown on a furnace?
The power to your furnace unit simply isn’t turning on. This can spell major problems as the temperatures continue to dip lower and lower with each passing hour. You may suspect a blown fuse and wonder what you can do to replace it or prevent it from occurring again in the near future.
Can a 4 amp fuse be used for a 50 volt fuse?
If you were to put a 4 amp 50 volt time-delay fuse in it’s place, you would still provide short-circuit protection while bypassing this slight (ish) problem. Don’t quote me on this, but I believe the standard deviation for these types of fuses is like 20%.

How often do you get a blown fuse?
Most people probably have experienced a blown fuse at one time or another. Someone always knows what to do when this happens. If you’re a homeowner, that person probably is you. Blown fuses are a common occurrence.
Can a blown fuse be switched back on?
The breakers reset and can be “switched back on”–so there is no need to replace anything. Much of the time, it’s technically inaccurate to refer to a “blown fuse,” so in this article, we’ll offer you some new concepts and vocabulary to describe your various electrical concerns.
