Compare 7 to a 7.5 amp fuse I have a DC TV in the motorhome the original fuse was a 7 but all I can find now are 7.5's The original voltage was 125 but the 7.5 states 30v Will the 7.5 be safe?

7.5 amps should be fine. The voltage number is unusual. If you have a multi-meter, measure the voltage the TV is supposed to receive bofore the fuse. I would find it strange that your TV is powered by 125VDC and not 120 VAC but the best way is to check with a meter. Also, you can always install a lesser voltage or amperage fuse adn be safe. Your fuse could blow out right away though. Whats unsafe is installing a fuse with a higher amperage than the TV calls for.
