25 amp fuse for KXPA100 power cable fast acting type OK ?

Brian Pepperdine
I need to build a power cable for my new used KXPA100 since the original owner retained the power cable.
I can find 25 amp auto type blade fuses locally... they are Fast Acting type. Is that OK or is that just typically what they are anyhow (as opposed I guess to Slow acting that fry the goods  HI ) ?

The manual does not differentiate fuse acting type... if indeed there are actually fuse types to differentiate.

tnx
Brien VE3VAW

Brien,

Those auto type blade fuses are what I use.  No problems so far.

Be sure to replace the fuse with the same type.  Type as in Current
rating and Time Current Characteristics.    In other words, all 25 amp
fuses are not the same.

If you want to understand more about types and what they do and how they
work, see this link:
