The MINI® style automotive blade fuse offers similar electrical characteristics in a smaller package than the ATO, style fuse.

Fuse rating = (watts/volts) x 1.25
- Note the power of the appliance – usually in the appliance manual,
- Note the voltage (240 volts in the UK).
- Use the next highest fuse rating after the calculation. Say the calculated fuse rating is 2.2679 amps, use a 3 amp fuse.
