Which SR Blue or black Fuse


Which SR Blue fuse for ARC REF 5SE? It says 5A slo/blo 250V on the fuse but no size MM?any help? Anyone had any experience with either fuse and what was the result.

I suspect that would be a very good place for a superior fuse, what with the demand for high quality current and voltage.

Oh, geez, not more angst ridden emotional diatribes 😫 from naysayers who can’t seem to come up with a single coherent counter-argument to the questions, (1) why are aftermarket fuses better than stock fuses?, (2) why are some aftermarket fuses better than others? or (3) why are fuses directional? One assumes the naysayers and self-appointed science defenders just like to hear themselves talk. Talking the talk but not walking the walk.
For each fuse the odds are 50% of putting it in the right way. The odds of putting more than one fuse in simultaneously the right way is less than 50%. With two fuses, one fuse should be evaluated first. When you decide which way is best, then evaluate the second fuse. Otherwise, it can get too complicated. Even worse for three or more fuses. If a little unsure about the first fuse direction when listening take a guess then move to second fuse. Repeat. It should more obvious the second time around.
50%. It’s always 50% since the fuses are not marked for direction. That’s my final answer.
Why is it we oft see the ones who complain about name calling the most are the first to call names when the opportunity arises? 
I implore you, is it too much of leap from fuse directionality to make the proclamation that all wire is directional? Or is that premature? Talk amongst yourselves. Smoke if ya got em.
You don’t have to know which way current or signal flows in the circuit since almost no aftermarket fuses are marked for directionality anyway. Thus, you should try both ways in any situation.
I thought that’s what you are, mapman. You’re not a fashion designer? 🕺🏻
Let’s see, I’m guessing traumatic head injury. Perhaps a nasty motorcycle accident. 🤕
I’ve been in the fancy fuse game ever since Isoclean, yes they’re UL rated, came on the scene nearly 20 years ago. So, I was one of the first. But I never had a fuse blow. I’ve also had Audio Magic Nano fuse. Never blew. Boy, was I lucky! 
I hate to judge too quickly but apparently only trolls blow fuses. Would that be a fair statement?
Sounds like operator error. No offense. There’s a reason for everything.
What did you think I was talking about? Just curious. Otherwise, excellent bloviation. 
Relax, Costco, reversing a fuse never blew anything up. Nobody’s house burned down. Give me a break! You guys are behaving just like Chicken Little. 🐥 The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
