The 5 amp fuse has many wattages that it can protect. It depends on the voltage of the circuit that the fuse is protecting. Use the following formula, Watts = Volts x Amps. For example 120 volts x 5 amps = 600 watts, 240 volts x 5 amps = 1200 watts, 480 volts x 5 amps = 2400 watts and 600 volts x 5 amps = 3000 watts.

- In a 5 volt circuit a 5 ampere fuse will blow when the load is using 25 watts.
- In a 12 volt circuit a 5 ampere fuse will blow when the load is using 60 watts.
- In a 115 volt circuit a 5 ampere fuse will blow when the load is using 575 watts.
- in a 20 kilovolt circuit a 5 ampere fuse will blow when the load is using 100 kilowatts.
- In a 1.5 million volt circuit a 5 ampere fuse will blow when the load is using 7.5 megawatts.
- etc.

How is low voltage circuit normally protected?
If it is then it has a 3 or 5 amp fuse. Some are not.
How many amps does a can light use?
The answer depends entirely on the wattage of bulb used! You can find the amperage of your light by using the Power Law which states that amperage = wattage divided by voltage. Thus a 60 watt bulb on a 120 volt system would draw .5 or 1/2 an amp.
What is difference between 5 amp and 15 amp plug points?
Current carrying capacity is different.
Why a 5amp. rating ammeter is connected to secondary side of current transformer?
The maximum current output of a CT is 5 amps. Connected to a meter this will be full scale. What ever the ratio of the CT will dictate the scale face on the meter. A 500 amp CT's output will be 5 amps at 500 amps on the buss. 250 amps on the buss, the CT will output 2.5 amp or half scale on the meter face.
What is 13 amp plug?
It's the standard Type 'G' 3-pin plug used in the UK for electrical equipment and appliances. It should always contain a cartridge fuse of the right size to match the current or "amperage" drawn by the equipment/appliance it is supplying with power. Standard fuses to fit the plug are available in 13 amp, 5 amp, 3 amp and 1 amp sizes. For more information see the Related Link and the answer to the Related Question shown below.
What are the correct fuses to use in the fuse box of a peugeot 205 gti 1.9 1989?

What is the difference between a 4 amp fuse and a 5 amp fuse?
1 amp
Can you replace a 5 amp fuse with a 10 amp fuse?
no you can't
What is the difference in a 5 amp fuse and 6 amp fuse?
A 5-amp fuse is designed to fail if more than 5 amps goes through it. A 6-amp fuse does likewise with more than 6 amps. Therefore, if you replace a 5-amp fuse with a 6-amp, you might be leaving components vulnerable to damage and wiring vulnerable to overheating, which could start a fire. If you replace a 6-amp with a 5-amp, the fuse will burn out if the circuit is drawing between 5 and 6 amps.
What is a common fuse rating?
15 and 20 amps for receptacles and lights, and anywhere from 20 to 60 amps for dedicated loads such as water heaters and air conditioning. The fuse size MUST be matched to the load and wire size, you cannot just arbitrarily pick one!
Can you replace a 5 amp fuse with a 10 amp?
No.
5 amp and 100 volts is what wattage?
500 watts P=VI
What size of fuse in a 5 amp plug?
well it might give you a clue, i would suggest a 5 ampere fuse for that 5 amp plug
What amp fuse do you use for a 1993 cavalier Z24?
This is a unclear question, and not easy to answer. In your fuse panal, their will be a range of fuses, from 5 amp, up to 30 amp. On your fuse panal cover, should be a digram of your fuse panal, and which amp fuse goes into which slot.
In the UK can you put a 5 amp fuse in a 3 amp plug?
