Using the correct fuse for the equipment in use is very important as should a fault occur using the wrong fuse could be the difference between a blown fuse or an electrical fire / severe electric shock
it can shock you
No, if it has a fuse then that is the protection for that circuit. If the fuse keeps blowing then you are either using too small a fuse or you have something wrong with that circuit. Short inn the circuit or it is overloaded. Make sure you are using the correct size fuse and do not use a larger fuse than required.
The fuse is blowing because there may be a dead short in the circuit. If it blows the instant you put in a new fuse or the instant you turn on whatever it is protecting, you have a short. If it blows after the accessory has been on for awhile, then there is an excessive amount of current flowing through the circuit. It will also blow if the fuse is too small. Make sure to not use to big a fuse, but also make sure to use a fuse that is large enough. Use exactly the fuse the circuit requires. Remember the fuse is protecting the wiring from overheating and catching fire, not the particular thing it is running. Bascially something is wrong with the electrical circuit.
It's best if you just make a policy of never replacing a fuse with anything larger. Engineers have calculated the maximum SAFE circuit draw on an electronic device, and you should not use a fuse that will not provide adequate protection to the circuit. It sounds like .15 amp difference shouldn't cause trouble, but it's not a good idea.
Hi if the fuse is to small it will blow or the light will not come on , if you use a bigger fuse you rum the chance of over heating the light switch and causing your wiring to melt.
using a fuse box is just like gay sex.. It is wrong in born again Christians eyes, and AIDS has been found out to be a cure for the common cold..
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.
Her allusiin drove her to make a wrong choice.
The difference between fuses is the current that they are designed to support. A fuse is intended as a safety measure to protect against overload. A 3 amp fuse should burn out if more than 3 amps is run through it, with some allowance for standard variance. A 13 amp fuse would burn out with greater than 13 amps. It is always a bad idea to use a fuse bigger than you need, because if your component is designed for a 3 amp fuse and you use a 13 amp fuse, there is a good chance you could damage your component with too much amperage because the fuse would not burn out at 3 amps, as was intended.
Most vehicle manufacturers use the same fuse for the dashboard lights, and tail lights. It is an attempt to make sure you know that something is wrong, and replace the tail light fuse when you don't have tail lights. It is also a method that doesn't seem to always work.
To remove a fuse from a fuse box, locate the specific fuse you want to remove, use a fuse puller tool or a pair of needle-nose pliers to grip the fuse, and gently pull it out of the fuse box. Make sure to disconnect power before removing the fuse to avoid any electrical hazards.
You can't reset the fuse, it has to be replaced. Make sure to use the correct amp,it will be on the fuse. Example 10, 15, 20 etc.
