Usually the current rating for a circuit is higher than the current usually taken. This leaves a little margin for safety.

Can different rating circuit breakers have the same short circuit characteristics?
Yes, different amperage rating circuit breakers can have the same short circuit characteristics.
What causes generators in parallel with same voltages and KW to have different amps?
If they are at the same voltage, and the same kW, the only thing left that will influence the output amperage is the power factor the generator is running at.
Can I use a power cord with same voltage output but different Amperage?
As long as you don't exceed the current rating of the cable.
Can you connect an electrical shower into the same circuit as the tank immersion heater?
Would be best not to ... especially if both, when turned on, will exceed the amperage rating of the breaker to which they are connected.
Can branch circuits from a panel be pulled in the same conduit if not exeeding the conduit fill requirements?
Yes. The thing that has to be closely watched is the load on the conductors. The conductors will have to be de-rated as the code only gives amperage rating for three conductors in a raceway. So watch the connected amperage to each load and fill the conduit accordingly. This supersedes the conduit fill requirements rule.
Are free-running and park our the same thing?
No
Are sfe and agw fuses interchangeable?
Yes. SFE have numbers on them indicating the amperage rating (SFE 7.5) and the AGW does not. It is the same size as the SFE and comes in different amperages.
Is The current in a circuit directly proportional to the impressed amperage?
I'm not sure what you are meaning by "impressed amperage", but current is measured in amperes (thus amperage), so I would say you're probably referring to the same thing (an apple = an apple kind of statement).
What is the cause and how would you correct a blown fuse?
The purpose of a fuse is to restrict amperage traveling through an electrical circuit to a specified value. It does this by inserting itself into the circuit and running the current through a metal strip inside the fuse. When the circuit is carrying to much amperage the metal strip will heat and then melt away, breaking the circuit and protecting anything that would be damaged due to the overload. In order to correct it, you must locate the fuse, remove it, and replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage rating.
Why are conductors needed?
If you want to operate the conductors maximum capacity, the conductor needs the heat, that the amperage produces, to be dissipated. This is why in the electrical code book there are two amperage ratings. The first one is for a free air rating which allows for a high ampacity of the wire. The other rating is for three conductors in a conduit which confines the cooling capacity and so the ampacity rating of these wires is lowered. The same procedure is used in cable spacings in ladder tray networks.
What rating is used to specify the size of a ups for computers?
Voltage & Amperage, Volt & Amps, V/A. All of those are the same written different ways, to give a understanding for those at the most basic level. ~Chute~
How do i replace the fuse for Audi a2 2003 model manual?
There are many fuses in that vehicle. Need to know which one even though most fuses just pull out and replaced with one of the same Amperage rating.
