using a 3 amp fuse your AVR will tolerate 660 watts which is over the specification.
I have blown up my 500 watt AVR once. I used the 110v outlet of the AVR I plugged a power vacuum(110V) rated at 2000 watts.
The point is. When the AVR says 500watts. you can allow a constant power draw of 500 watts. more than that it can burn.
I bought this Omni AVR servo-type 500 watts at ACE hardware SM. I did the stupid thing again of plugging my power vacuum(110v) to the Omni AVR. It has an alarm which sounded. Good thing it has a built-in alarm. I immediately unplugged my vacuum. I started to smell like burnt plastic.
So next time I got a step down power supply for my vacuum.
There are 1000watt AVR, I also saw 1500w to 2000w AVR.
I just bought a 2000w AVR. its china made so cross my finger. Made in Japan AVR are expensive. Taiwan made less expensive than japan. China made the cheapest.
so you mean to say, im risking my AVR with 3amps fuse on it?...
but ngano man nga akong avr naay label 3amps sa fuse socket?
