A fuse is designed to blow off safely without causing fire when an excess current passes through it. This to prevent damaging the circuit load and is also used for isolating the circuit to carry out some service.

Can you use a different size fuse in your Yamaha zuma 50?
Positively not. Never ever use a different size fuse in a circuit. The fuse is there to protect the wiring in the circuit from overheating and catching on fire.
What size fuse for 12v battery?
The fuse you use is determined by the load on the circuit and the size wiring used in that circuit not the battery voltage.
Can is use a 32v fuse instead of a 125v fuse?
No. If the voltage rating of a fuse is too low for the circuit in which it is fitted then, when the fuse operates (i.e. its link melts), the circuit voltage might maintain the resulting arc within the fuse, and it will fail to protect that circuit.
Can you replace a 20 amp fuse with a 10 amp fuse?
NO! Using a larger amp fuse defeats the purpose of the fuse to protect the wiring in the circuit. This can cause a fire. Always use the correct amp fuse for that circuit.
Can you replace a 10 amp fuse with a 20 amp fuse?
NO! Using a larger amp fuse defeats the purpose of the fuse to protect the wiring in the circuit. This can cause a fire. Always use the correct amp fuse for that circuit.
In science to prevent overloading in a parallel circuit you could install a what?
you can use a fuse or circuit breaker
What fuses should you use in your 67 Dodge Dart GT?
every circuit has a different rated amp fuse, it should say on the fuse box what amp to use for each circuit.
Is there a reset switch on an automobile for a fuse that keep blowing out?
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.
What can cause fuses to blow?
Overloading the circuit, short in the wiring, or incorrect fuse installed which is too small for the circuit. Always use the correct size fuse.
How do you reset the circuit breaker on the cigarette lighter on a 63 ford falcon?
It does not have a circuit breaker. It uses a fuse to protect the circuit. Look for a blown fuse in the fuse panel under the dash on the drivers side.I believe the cigarette lighter circuit is protected with a glass barrel fuse not a circuit breaker. Check the fuse box for a blown fuse.
