Can you change a 13 amp fuse for a 15 amp?
I have never seen a 13 amp rated plug, it is not defined in the National Electric Code, are you sure this is what you have?However, the NEC does allow both 15 and 20 amp receptacles that are being fed from a 20 amp circuit breaker.AnswerA fused 13-A plug is the standard electrical plug used in the UK, Ireland, and many other parts of the world that use 230/240 V supplies. It is incompatible with the now-obsolete, 15-A plug (except in theatrical lighting setups) which uses a different pin shape and is unfused.
How many 500 watt flood lights can you put on a 13 amp plug?

Is there a adapter for a nema 14-30 plug and a nema 14-50 receptacle?
No there are no adapters made for these types of installations. The reason there are no adapters is to provide a factor of safety. To plug a 30 amp plug into a 50 amp receptacle could allow 50 amps to be applied to a 30 amp rated cord. The 50 amp receptacle is more than likely being fed by a 40 amp breaker. Just change the plug cord to match the ampacity of the breaker ahead of the 50 amp receptacle. Or change the 50 amp receptacle and 40 amp breaker to a 30 amp breaker and use your existing cord plug.

13 amp breaker. A fuse and circuit breaker perform the exact same function so they should be the exact same size. They protect the wiring within a circuit from overheating and catching on fire. A 13 amp breaker is a superior product that has a good chance of operating between 13 and 13½ amps, while a fuse might not blow until the current reaches 15 amps.
