In most cases the size of a fuse is not critical and so changing from 15 to 20 amp will not effect anything -

BUT the function of a fuse is to destroy itself before some more expensive component gets destroyed by too high a current flow. As you raise the current rating of your fuses you increase the chances of negating their function,

Is there a problem with 250 volts going into a home. What problems could this cause?

Almost every home in north America will have a 240 volt supply (250 volts is the same).


Is The Abbreviation 400kΩ stands for 400000 volts?

I believe the symbol you used, the "omega" stands for ohms, a measure of resistance in electricity and electrical work.


Are microwave cooked foods dangerous?

Not at all. Food cooked in the microwave does not contain any microwave radiation. However, you could burn your mouth if, for example, you heat a danish in the microwave and bite into it too soon as the bready outer part can seem cool enough to eat while the filling is still dangerously hot. But on the other hand microwave use the same wave lengths as xrays and such and could possibly harm you depending on the age of the microwave.


What is the voltage between c and d?

I think the question probably needs a diagram with it. In general, the method to determine the voltage is to add up (sum) the voltages as you go around the circuit. Your battery or source will add volts. Most of the other devices will subtract volts. The total will be zero, or in other words, the things that add volts will equal the things that subtract volts. For example, if you have a series circuit where there is only one path, if the battery adds 12 volts and the first resistor takes away 7 volts, there will be 5 volts across the second resistor. Something to note, though, involves parallel circuits. When the circuit splits into two paths, the voltage measured between the place they split and the place they rejoin is the same.


How many unit is 1 kv?

Unfortunately, the question as phrased is meaningless. A watt or kilowatt is a measure of voltage times current - one kilovolt at one amp of current dissipates one kilowatt of energy, but the same kilovolt at one tenth of an amp of current only dissipates 100 watts. Here's the formula: Watts = Volts * Amps

Can you replace 2.5 Amps 125 Volts with 10 Amps 125 Volts?

You physically can but sit will be unsafe, and will not protect the circuit because it will not blow when it should. Only replace a fuse with the same size fuse.


What happens when you use microwave and toaster at the same time?

if you have a crapy fuse box with crapy fuses then your fuse will blow else it its normal box with normal fuses then nothing will hapen maby a small flicker in the lights


Is 100 amps 48 volts DC the same 12 volts DC?

No.


Are 100 and 110 volts the same?

Of course not, that's 10 volts difference.


How do you make 2 12 volt batterys 24 volts?

Connect them in series and you will have 24 volts but you will have the same A/H as one of the batteries. Volts double but A/H stay the same.


What if the cooling fan light stays on in your 1986 series 4 rx7 you checked the fan connection but no volts fuse box has no cover so where is fuse?

on my 3rd gen the cooling fans fuse is in the engine bay. its a yellow blade fuse (big version) wich i think is 40amps and its next to the fuel pump relay. the fuse box is right next to the suspension strut tower. i know its a different model but hopefully it will be the same fuse, cheers.


How many amps in 18 volts?

It depends right?Because you can have 18 volts,but only have 250 ma= m illi amps.Im no wizard but i know a little about it. Then at the same time you could have 18 volts, but this time instead have 6 amps.thats what im here for is to find exactly the how and why of it.So how can you have various amps along with the same amount of volts more battery =more amps ?series-parellel?please show us the way.

How do you calculate the ac amps when you have the DC volts DC amps and the ac volts?

the answer is dc volts are rectified from ac volts and the amperage will be the same unless you account for the slight drop from the rectifier. dc volts from a battery have no relationship to ac volts. you can derive ac volts from a dc source using an inverter.
