I'm using SR Purple on the Hypsos. I checked with support and they didn't give me a definitive answer but he thinks this the flow direction for the fuse. My understanding for the SR Purple they go left to right S and end at R. Does this seem like the correct orientation. I don't want to go off my ear. Too much time in between to do a proper A/B.
Hmmm I see. Yeah Ferrum support was unsure and that my way was correct. I think they don’t believe fuses are directional. I’m going to have to A/B them. Are the differences very obvious?
Another way to perceive 'proper' fuse orientation is to think of the ac power as entering into the device with the fuse 'in line' with this flow.
So I orient the fuse so that this flow into the device follows the text on the fuse.
IOW as I read the text from left to right, that is the 'proper' direction of the flow of energy thru the fuse and into the device.
So with the fuse removed (and the ac power cable removed), I use a DVM to determine which pin of the IEC connection is directly connected to which of the two fuse holder pins, and that is the source of flow into the device, so the text on the fuse, as read, starts with that fuse holder pin.

Depending upon the system it can be obvious right from the start. However after 1-2hrs of operation (listening to music) it should be very apparent which direction is 'right'.

Ferrum support was smoking something, it is their fault to choose such odd ball socket. It is NOT the fuse sound REALLY bad then backward, they sound little artificial, awkward (unnatural), and MAY gain some dynamic and have wider soundstage when backward, yeah it is funny.

All you really need it for, in this case, is the continuity/resistance check function.
As for operation, one set of pins should read at or very near 0.0 Ω's while others should read higher, or as 'open' (infinite).
So use the set of pins with the lowest reading.
Just make sure that the device is unplugged from the ac wall socket BEFORE you start poking around with your DVM probes.

So have you changed the fuse in a Hypsos? Measured it?
If yes, does the measurement agee with proposed Direction? Top=left, Bottom=right, meaning S on top R at the Bottom? Thanks!
So these guys have "mid Level" fuses for £620 and they put an arrow on them. In every other post people argue if fuses are directional or not...
easy peasy, right?
