original car fuse?

[rion]

is there such a thing as original car fuse (those colored fuses)? it's more expensive than those common cheap ones but less prone to melting?

yep yan ang tawag nila sa autosupply shop pag sinabi mong orig yung mas high quality ibibigay sayo

OEM fuses or the surplus one OK compare mo yung 2 feet ng fuse mapapansin mo na mas makapal yung mga surplus

Fuses are designed to trip at a certain amp. If they trip at a lower amp, the quality might be suspect.

But if they trip at a higher amp, it doesn't mean they are of better quality. Remember, fuses are designed to be weak links. They destroy themselves to save more expensive components. If you keep blowing fuses up, it might be time to have that particular area in your electrical system checked out.
