Chiller- fast or slow blow fuse?

[jdavid]

I picked up a 1/4 horsepower chiller the other day, and it needs the fused replaced.

The fuse is a 10a 250v 5x20mm glass fuse that happens to be narn near impossible to find locally so I'm ordering one off the internet

The only thing is, the fuse doesn't say anything to indicate whether it's a fast or slow blow fuse, hoping someone might know the answer

Which one would is appropriate for a chiller?

Slow blow. When a motor first starts it has an extremely high current for a short period which could blow a fast acting. If the current remains higher than 10 amps for any length of time the slow blow will still protect the motor.
