A fuse question
I just bought a brand new Nord Rack 2X which I like very much (I haven't finished exploring it yet, but I am already impressed with its sounds). After reading a lot on the Internet about some of the Nord products sensitivity to voltage variations, I would like to buy some spare fuses in case the one that comes with the machine blows in a bad moment (like a few minutes before a show or in the middle of a recording session). However, I haven't found a clear answer to that question yet (and there is nothing in the manual about this). Could somebody tell me what type - and size - of fuse the North American model of the Nord Rack 2X uses? Thanks!

Re: A fuse question
Hello Mike,
I'm fairly certain that your fuse is the same as in this thread:
http://www.norduserforum.com/nord-elect ... 15-10.html
Specifically, see the post by TheNordCrew who generously provided pictures.
You may want to remove your good fuse and confirm that it's the type and size specified.
The amperage value at 230 volts operation will always be about half the value of the amperage at 120 volts operation. However the voltage class will always be 250
So if your fuse is 125 ma (Milliamperes) for 230 volt operation.
The US version would be 300ma.
Hope this answers your question.
Cheers, Hanon

Re: A fuse question
Hi Hanon!
And thank you for your answer. Your info is the first clear one I got for my question. Indeed, after reading everything I could find on the Net, I was quite convinced I needed a 250 or a 300 mA fuse, but I was puzzled by the voltage: 115 V or 250 V ? Now I know.
Many, many thanks. It is very nice to have people like you helping others and making forums like this one a very useful tool.

I'm glad that I could be of help.
I have needed so much help throughout my life, and this is my way of giving back.
Thanks for helping me with that.
Cheers, Hanon
