Why do they make fuse rejectors for 30 amp plug fuses, when a 30 amp plug fuse is the biggest they make? I thought the rejectors were so you couldn't increase the size of the fuse, but maybe I'm missing something here?

I was wondering what you meant when you said a " 30 amp rejector"! I have never really seen those " Type S" fuses around here... The only one I think I have actually seen was at my old work in the fuse isle buried under a mound of dust! The " Rejectors" I know of were plastic rings of either the 15 or 20 amp version that you screwed into your panel with a special fiber tool...The 15's would only allow a 15A fuse in but the 20A rejectors would allow a 15 or 20A fuse to be inserted... They worked but I sometimes had problems with them when using some brands of type "D" fuse of the correct rating, the rejectors rejected them too!

Rewire, I know of the rejectors you are talking about, but those are different. I haven't seen those in years. The ones I'm talking about take the type S fuses that Iwire has linked to. This is the only picture I could find of the adaptor: http://www.hvactool.com/product_images/MA-16SA.gif The little wire sticking out the side of the threads make it tamper resistant. My reason for this post is lately we've been installing a lot of these rejectors (adaptors) and type S fuses to satisfy the insurance companies requirements. I couldn't figure out why they even made one for 30 amps, but e57 answered my question (duh...I never even thought of that!)....thanks.

The S adapter also rejects pennies, gum wrappers and aluminum foil ... even the 30. The 30a adapter will take a 20 (same thread size) but the 20 won't take a 30. There is a shoulder on the 30a fuse that keeps it from fitting in a 20a adapter.

Go to Bussmann.com or Littlefuse website, customer service, and ask for a supplier in your area.
