The risk
The products do not perform the function of a commutation device; namely the fuses take too long to blow when the current is greater than the rated current. If a fuse fails to interrupt excessive current, there is a risk of a fire starting in the electric installation of the car.
Product: A blister pack containing 10 micro blade-type car fuses, including: 2 in brown plastic - 7,5 А; 2 red - 10 А ; 2 blue - 15 А ; 2 yellow - 20 А ; 1 transparent plastic - 25 А and 1 green - 30 A.
