Replacing fuse


Would replacing an 6.3A SLO BLO fuse with an 8 SLO BLO fuse be ok? Thanks for any information.

Bought the fuses from Parts Connection located in Canada on sale, which makes the sizes and values limited.Know there are correct size fuses but didn't want to spend $50 or more for one fuse.Its a Hi Fi tuning fuse which many have for sale but none have the size and values needed.
No. The design engineer knows the expected fault current and from there determines how much time to melt the fuse, and that corresponds to 6.3 amps for your device.
Hmmm. So you want to buy a fuse on sale, save a few bucks and as a result burn your house down ... makes a whole lot of sense! 

Don't put in the wrong fuse -- the warranty is immediately void, and you create an electrical risk

It will work ... but the fuse isn't doing the job it's intended
 Don't buy those nonsense high end rip off uses. Just go to your local electronic store and buy quality fuses for a couple of bucks. I went down the hi-fi tuning Road and blew some of those that shouldn't have blown.

Your fuses blew, if that story is even true which it’s probably not, because you didn’t pay enough for them. Problem solved.
