A fuse is a safety device which is designed to blow (fuse) if a larger current than it is rated for passes through it. So a 10 amp fuse can pass anything up to 10 amps.

How many ohms in a amp fuse?

Can you replace a 20 amp fuse in your car with a 25 amp due to the fuse keep blowing?

Yes you can but you are setting yourself up for a big problem. There is a reason the 20 amp fuse is blowing. By installing a bigger fuse it allows the current that is causing the 20 amp fuse to blow to stay in for a longer period of time. This can cause excessive heating and melting of the wires on the circuit that is blowing on a 20 amp fuse. Trace the wire and find the fault. Always use the manufacturer's recommended fuse sizing for your own protection.


Can a 25 amp fuse replace a 30 amp fuse in a central ac unit?

It is not recommended to replace a 30 amp fuse with a 25 amp fuse in a central AC unit. The fuse should match the specified amperage requirements to prevent damage or overheating of the unit. Using a lower amp fuse could potentially lead to electrical issues or failure of the AC unit.


Is 700 amp for 500 amp OK?

No, a 700 amp fuse would not be suitable for a 500 amp circuit. The fuse amperage rating should be equal to or slightly higher than the circuit's maximum amperage to provide proper protection. In this case, a 500 amp fuse or slightly higher would be the appropriate choice.

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.
