Hey guys, the fuse in my IceCap 660 blew and im struggling to find another. Its a 7A 250V fuse, it also says 313 on it, which im thinking must mean something because I used a 7A 250V 312 fuse and it blew instantly. Anyone know where I can find a 7A 250V 313 Fuse?? Thanks for the help!

You may want to check and see if there is something wrong with your IceCap that is causing it to blow the fuses.

I made the mistake of disconnecting one of the VHOs while the system was running. Im pretty sure the its the fuse, although I cant find one that will work. I think im gonna just use a 30A 250V due to lack of resources.

I would not think that disconnecting a bulb would blow the fuse. I don't think that is any different than a bulb going out on it's own, which won't blow the fuse.
I really would not put a 30 amp fuse in. The wires connecting the ballast are only 18 gauge and the breaker or fuse for your house wiring is probably only 15 amps. So basically if there is a problem with the IceCap a 30 amp fuse will never blow. Either the wires would melt or the house breaker would trip.
If someone else wants to chime in with some other thoughts I would appreciate it.
Good Luck.

Icecap wont tell me what kind of fuse it is they run, they want me to send the Ballast to them and for $65 put in a fuse. Hmm......
