Can you use a 3 amp fuse instead of a 2.5 amp fuse for a speaker?
NO! The use of a higher rated fuse than is recommended can cause the wiring to overheat and cause a fire. Use exactly what is required.
Can I use a 30 amp fuse instead of a 40?
This is not a good idea to do. Sometimes just that little bit of extra current that the 45 amp fuse will allow to reach the 40 amp load might be enough to destroy the device.
Can you use 20 Amp with 250 Volt Fuse instead of 18 Amp with 250 Volts fuse in microwave?
Only if you want to blow up the microwave. That will let 20 amps go through before the fuse blows when the manufacture is telling you 18 amps max. <<>> Yes, you can use the 20 amp fuse. At 250 volts 2 amps is no problem and you are not going to blow up the microwave. On a fault current the 20 amp fuse will trip just as fast as an 18 amp fuse.
Can you use a 250v 15 amp fuse for a 125v 15 amp?
Use the correct fuse and nothing else.
Can you use a 5 amp fuse instead of a 4 amp fuse in a television?
I have never seen a 4 amp fuse, only 3 and 5. The peak power draw and dump is when you switch on and off your TV. Try a 3 amp and if it blows when you turn it on, then no, your particular TV can't use a 3 amp fuse. Don't worry about this test, it shouldn't damage the TV and fuses cost so little.
Can you replace a 20 amp fuse with a 10 amp fuse?
NO! Using a larger amp fuse defeats the purpose of the fuse to protect the wiring in the circuit. This can cause a fire. Always use the correct amp fuse for that circuit.
Can you replace a 10 amp fuse with a 20 amp fuse?
NO! Using a larger amp fuse defeats the purpose of the fuse to protect the wiring in the circuit. This can cause a fire. Always use the correct amp fuse for that circuit.
What are the correct fuses to use in the fuse box of a peugeot 205 gti 1.9 1989?

What is meant by ratting of fuse?
A fuse is given a various rating (strength). For instance, a home appliance (washing machine, etc) would usually have a fuse with a 13 amp rating. While a low powered lamp would only merit a 2 or 5 amp fuse rating. It is important to use a fuse of the correct rating in amps for each electrical appliance.
Can you use a 15 amp fuse instead of a 10 amp fuse for your car gauges?
It is NEVER a good idea to use a higher value fuse. The reason for the 10 Amp fuse is that it blows at 10 amps which the wire and device being protected is designed to handle. If you substitute 15 amps and that amount of current flows in your device, it may destroy the device and other things in the path of the current.
What amp fuse do you use for a 1993 cavalier Z24?
This is a unclear question, and not easy to answer. In your fuse panal, their will be a range of fuses, from 5 amp, up to 30 amp. On your fuse panal cover, should be a digram of your fuse panal, and which amp fuse goes into which slot.
Can you use a higher watt light bulb instead of a lower watt light bulb E.g. A lamp uses 9w light bulbs can I use a 13 watt one?
9w to 13w is not a big jump, but you need to check the fuse rating, which will have been chosen to limit the current to a safe level for the wiring, to see if the extra current is still within the fuse rating. Is this in an auto? If at 12v the current will rise from 0.75 amp to 1.08 amp. You should also check the lamp holder to see if there is a power limit stamped or printed on it.
