I am trying to replace the main fuse in my xtreme x-500. I can find the fuses online but they are quite overpriced for fuses. What kind of fuse would I use for 48V? I want to replace the entire fuse holder so that I can use generally available fuses. Is it safe to use a general A/C fuse that is rated up to 32V?

IIRC, thats just a glass 20 amp fuse. Any automotive shop should have them in packs of 5 for $3.oo a pack. heck, most grocery stores have them. You could also replace it with a Blade style automotive 20 amp fuse, but IMHO, its not worth the effort.
If you blow the fuse often, try moving to a 25 amp fuse. If you still are blowing them, then you may have another problem.

I went to a blue sea systems push button on my x-500. Fits right in where the original fuse holder was.

Ah. Long time since I've seen an X500 up close.
Blade fuse would be the way to go then. I use regular female blade connectors on mine, rather than a premade holder.

Any of the Automotive fuses are fine up into the hundreds of volts. They aren't rated that way for various reasons, but the voltage rating is basicly meaningless. The air gap opens wide enough to insulate tens of thousands of volts, and thats what matters.
