a) you need to use the value printed on the supply, for the proper ∗input
voltage∗. The 110 & 220V fuses will differ by 1/2.

b) you need to use Slo-Blo types if possible. Fuses are 5mm X 20mm (standard
size).

c) since you are fusing the AC input side, that current will be lower than
the output side (which is a lower ∗voltage∗).
