Where to buy fuse for fuse panel?


Hi,
I just installed some 20A dedicated lines by using fuse panel. The problem is I can't find the size of 20A fuse that fix into the slots. Fuses with the value of 20A are too small, and the other ones with the right size are bigger in value like 35A and up.
Can I use 35A fuse for 20A circuit? If my equipments don't
draw over 20A, then is it safe to use it? Does anybody know where can I find these fuses online?
Thank you very much.

Years ago I remember some type of metallic adapters that could be slipped over the smaller version cartridge fuses ends (2 required per fuse) that would allow the smaller fuses to be installed in the next size larger holder. Soory I don't remember a brand name or any other specific information. Check with electrical supply houses that carry both size fuses or an extremely good hardware store. Absolutely do not use a fuse larger than the wire (or recepticles) are/is rated for.
Is your fuse panel old? If it is, you probably have the newer S-Type fuses and are attempting to place them in Edison base fuse holders. S-types are smaller in diameter for a given amp rating than an Edison. Go to a Home Depot, ask for "Edison Base" plug fuses. Be very careful - all amperages are the same size.
Hi,
No, my fuse panel is new. Just bought it 2 days ago. I'll check with Home Depot and electrical stores to see if they have any kind of adapter. Are there any fuse panel using small fuse size? Brand? Model number?
Thanks!

Is this new panel for fuses or circuit breakers? Where did you get it? Send me an email with the info on the inside front cover (if you can scan the installation sheet even better) and I'll get back to you with specifics.
