The voltage rating of a fuse does factor into the fuse's circuit
opening characteristics.  I just happen to have a package of
LITTLEFUSE 3AG 2A 312 fuses here on my desk.  They are single link
tubular glass cartridge fuses of the type one would find in a radio
receiver or computer power supply.  The barrels are marked "2A
250V."  The package notes:  "SC  10,000A 125 VAC  100A 250 VAC."

I checked my catalog for 3AG type fuses.  There's no mention of the
overload characteristics for 3AG; only, "fast acting."  For 3AB,
which are ceramic barrel, the characteristics are blow time of
110%, 4 hour maximum; 135%, 1 hour maximum; 200%, 15 second
maximum.
