    Help Identify this Fuse

    Hi everyone I have a multimeter model: BS1901W that no longer works it has a very strong yellow fuse that has no designation so I wonder if you can help me know what value it has. Here are some pictures

      Yellow PTC? Shouldn't affect power up of the meter...

        It doesn't have any fuses, only a yellow PTC to protect the 200mA current range.

          no, the yellow thing is a polyfuse.
          tell me what's printed on it.

          the meter looks like a Centec btw - worth about €3 if you break it.

              when you say the meter doesnt work - be specific.
              does the display show anything?
              does it read volts?
              amps?
              continuity?
              all these modes use different circuits

                  Post a picture of the part that is the "fuse LBV160". Without the bblluuurrr.

                  It seems to be a custom British Standard multimeter made by Caltek HK.
                  I call a polyfuse a PTC, the big yellow squarish one looks to be for 200mA current range.

                  I still say there's no fuse- "self-recovery fuse protection" in the marketing. You would think any fuse would be replaceable, not soldered in for a multimeter.
                  There are three bead style PTC's, and a MOV - but I can't see any fuse.

                    found it.

                    it wont stop the meter working, it will just mess up the current readings usually
