What fuse for V-Synth XT on mains plug?

16 May 2013, 11:42

What fuse do I use for the V-Synth XT on a mains plug? I am in the UK, I have cables with 13amp and 5amp fuses, and I got them muddled up. I have two Behringer effects units, would these be 5amps?

Thanks.

Wha? I did not know the V-Synth needs a fused plug/cord.

Sure all power cables have fuses, don't they?

Not speaking for any that may be used in the UK, but here in the states, no power plug (except for holiday lights and maybe a few others) have fuses. Instead, the fuses reside in the actual device. Also, with that in mind, a fuse is not listed in the V-Synth owner's manual; so either the V-Synth does not have one or it is only listed in Roland's service manual, etc.

You may be referring to the AMPACITY of your plug you intend to use. Typical electrical CORDS may be rated from 10A (small wire I may add) to 15A, with the latter being the most common for 120VAC use. If your household has 220-240VAC (I think you guys do, right?) then either or is going to work because the power consumption of the V-Synth is 16 watts, which is only 0.075A at 220VAC!
