Fuses

I read in the manual of my SE84-UFO2,1 that the power fuse is 3A but the one I have in the amp is 1,6A !
Is this a typo in the manual ? Or is it because I am under 250v (EU standard) and the manual is written for the 110v of the US power supply ...the transformer's value being different ?

I believe it is because of your country's voltage. If it weren't correct, it would likely blow that value fuse consistently. On the forum Steve has posted lower fuse values for European voltages before.

Typically upping the voltage will lower the amperage draw with the same load. So doubling the voltage will half the current. Ohms Law I=V/R

When I originally got my SE84UFO amp, it also came with a 1.6 amp fuse. I would not make too much of it.
