Which fuse for a Nord Stage 3?

Post by Funkademic »

Hello all,

The fuse on my Nord Stage 3 recently blew at a gig because of power problems at the venue. Luckily, the fuse is accessible on the back of the keyboard without removing the panel, and my Electro 6D was nearby so I was able to swap its fuse into the NS3. Everything seems to be fine, but I'd now like to order some replacement fuses to have on hand. Does anyone know what the correct specification is for the fuse?

The markings on the top and bottom caps of the blown fuse say:

250V
BUSS MDL 3/10A

Based on what I can find out from the internet, this seems to be a Bussmann/Eaton electronics 250V 300mA slow-blow fuse, which can be ordered here:

I suppose I'd just like some confirmation that this is actually the right part. Has anyone had a similar issue? What sort of fuse did you purchase?

By the way, I'm based in the US.

Thanks!
Elias

The fuse specifications are written on the sticker next to the power button on the rear of the Nord, above the serial number.

Which is the correct information if you haven't swapped power supply internally between 230 and 110 V.
