Aren't most automotive fuses specified for 32V? But you'll never find one for
1.5A--automotive fuses tend to be for multiple amps. Most common fractional-amp fuses
are specified at 250V.
Yeah, you want to be able to block the nominal working voltage
plus any inductive kicks you might get from the load when the
fuse blows. I usually see 250v fuses for consumer stuff, 120v was
just an example. Automotive fuses are usually 7.5 amps and up,
in my experience, though I've seen 3.25 in the wild (there's one in
my lighter-port inverter).
