If you are asking can I put a 10 amp fuse in instead of a 5 amp ,the answer is yes. However do not leave it in there. It is ok in an emergency, if the 10 blows right away , then you will have to find your problem.. Always try to keep the proper size fuses installed.

Can you use a 20 amp fuse for a 15 amp surge protector safely?
No. If you use a larger fuse you are not protecting the device which has a rating of a lesser value.
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 time delay fuse in your central air conditioner of the same amp rating?
Yes, and you should use a time delay fuse.
Can you use a 600v fuse in a 120v circut?
Yes, as long as the amp rating is the same. Examples, 600v 100amp fuse can be used in a 120v 100 amp's location.
Where can you find a 10 amp 125 volt fuse at?
Assuming the wiring is sized for 12 amps, you can replace your fuse with any 12 amp fuse or smaller and with a voltage rating at or above what you expect to connect to it. The amp rating protects the wire, so you cannot go above what the wire can handle. The voltage rating is the max voltage that it can safely protect, so you cannot use a fuse with a lower voltage rating than you expect to connect to.
Can i put a battire relay fuse froma chevy silverado into a ford fuse battire relay fuse pannel?
If it fits and has the same voltage & amp rating you can use the fuse/relay.
It is ok to use a fuse with a higher amperage rating and not ok to use a fuse with a smaller amperage rating why?
It is ok to use a fuse with a higher amperage rating and not ok to use a fuse with a smaller amperage rating why?
Can you use a 250v 15 amp fuse for a 125v 15 amp?
Use the correct fuse and nothing else.
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.

Can you replace a15amp 250 volt mgc glass fuse with another type os fuse?
The short answer is, Yes. But here are the issues at hand: If you require a 15 amp circuit you cannot go smaller. Voltage of a fuse is determined by the voltage applied. You may not have 250v. You can use a fuse with a higher rating than the supply but not smaller. Wire size is determined by overcurrent protection, which is your fuse, so if you use a larger amp fuse you must determine if the wire is large enough to handle it. Do not guess. So the long answer is, Any 15 amp fuse with a voltage rating at or above the supplied voltage will work if properly installed.
