Each fuse has its own rating. It will be marked on the fuse somewhere.
A: The VA rating is there 6v/a the power fuse to blow is 6watts. 050a fuse
It is ok to use a fuse with a higher amperage rating and not ok to use a fuse with a smaller amperage rating why?
Because too high a voltage could arc across the fuse or could cause fuse to fail in other ways not related to normal operation.
If you are referring to the standard plug used in the UK, then the maximum rating fuse is 13 A, which can supply a load of approximately 3 kW. But the fuse fitted must match the power-rating of the load, so lower-rated fuses are available; for example, a 3-A fuse can supply up to about 700 W.
The fuse rating should be 5 amps
The current rating is 2A (2 amps).
Using a fuse correctly rated for current but "overrated" for voltage does not present a problem. Current ratings are critical safety issues, and fuses should be replaced with those of the same current rating. But using a fuse with an identical current rating but a higher voltage rating is not a problem. The reason for that lies in what the voltage rating of a fuse is. Fuses are given a voltage rating to state a maximum voltage in a circuit that they are designed to protect. And the voltage rating has nothing to do with the "normal" operation of the fuse. The fuse carries current when it operates normally, but when something happens and excessive current flows, the fusible link heats up and opens. This is where the voltage rating comes into play. It is possible that a fuse can arc through when it fails. It is the voltage rating that stands in the way of this. As long as the voltage rating of a circuit is not beyond the voltage rating of the fuse, that fuse will fail safely when it fails. It is acceptable to use a fuse of an equal current rating but a higher voltage rating when replacing a fuse that has failed.
All fuses have a voltage rating, which is independent of its current rating. The current rating is the maximum current the fuse will pass; any higher, and it will blow. The voltage rating is the maximum voltage that is allowed to appear across the fuse should it blow. If the voltage is any higher than the fuse manufacturer's rating, it may arc across inside the fuse, causing power to continue to be supplied to the faulty item that caused the fuse to blow in the first place. This is obviously very dangerous, and could result in severe electric shock, or fires. The voltage rating is usually stamped on one end of the fuse.
A fuse is given a various rating (strength). For instance, a home appliance (washing machine, etc) would usually have a fuse with a 13 amp rating. While a low powered lamp would only merit a 2 or 5 amp fuse rating. It is important to use a fuse of the correct rating in amps for each electrical appliance.
Lower the rating of the primary fuse feeding the transformer.
