Replacing 314 type ceramic fuse with regular fuse

[qguy2000]

My power amp stopped working, no sound, powers on, relays are clicking, but no sound. Started poking around and checked two 10a, 250v 314 ceramic type fuse. I only had regular fuse with the same 10 amp rating, I replaced it and the amp is now working again. Can I retain the regular fuse or should I replaced it with the ceramic type fuse?

Ceramic fuses act faster than glass fuses of the same rating. Replacing same with same would be preferable.

Ceramic fuses are rated for full line voltage. Glass ones are usually rated for only 32 volts or so. With a short circuit they may not interrupt the current quickly or even explode. Of course they used to be rated for higher voltage. So the answer would be to replace it with the correct fuse within a reasonable time.
