Power supply fuse question

Hi,

I bought a used variable DC power supply (0-70V, 0-20A) that was used by its
previous owner with 220V AC input (switchable to 110, which is what I would
want). The specs say that the two fuses on the back of the power supply's
input should be "8 AT" for 220, which they currently are, and "16 AT" for
110, which I need to obtain. My question is, what does the "T" in "AT" stand
for assuming that the "A" is "Amps"? Any idea where I could find this fuse?

Here's a link to the manufacturer's sight (Delta-Elektronika) for the power
supply. Mine is the SM7020-D:

Thanks in advance,
James

The T means anti-surge, also known as slo-blo. Any 16A anti-surge fuse will
do, if it's the right size.

JUNK is stuff that you keep for 20 years,
then throw away a week before you need it.

Slow.
You bought a dutch PSU. T is for 'Traag' or slow blowing.

Thanks for all replies. I guess I can now say that I know at least a word
in Dutch. ;o)
