The fuse will blow as soon as you turn it on. Use the correct fuse and nothing else.

What would happen if you put a 13a fuse in a tv which is designed to have a 5a fuse?

The TV will over heat and it will end up damaged. It could even cause an electrical fire!!


Will a 16A 250v plug work with a 13A 240 v travel adaptor?

Yes provided the adaptor, or the plug that is plugged in, has a 13A fuse.


Which uses more electrical current a 13A kettle or a 13A iron?

An iron is going to use more electrical current than a kettle. The iron needs to be plugged in to stay hot. The kettle is usually unplugged after the contents reach the right temperature. <<>> The electric current drawn is the same for both appliances, 13 amps if they are both 13-amp devices. However an iron is usually a lower-power device of about 1 kW that would draw 4 amps on a 240 v supply, and its thermostat would operate to control the current so that it doesn't overheat. Some kettles have a 3-kW element which would draw 13 amps, but kettles are used only now and then. So both devices do not use a lot of energy.

What would happen if a 13a fuse is put in a tv?

A fuse is a circuit safety device. Asking this question must mean that the fuse has blown. It has blown for a reason. The reason has to be found before a new fuse is installed. If the reason has been found and corrected then the fuse that the manufacturer recommended should be re installed. It is your option to use a larger fuse that what is recommended. On a fault condition by not limiting the current to a certain amperage there is the chance that more damage to that circuit's components will occur and irreparable damage to the TV could make it useless.

The fuse 13 A in a plug is intended to?

This is intended to protect the flex of a plug. A fuse is a little wire that all of the electricity coming into the appliance flows through. If something goes wrong and the current is higher than it should be, this fuse will overheat and burn out, thus breaking the wire and cutting the flow of electricity. If there was no fuse, the circuit would not be broken, this could overheat the plug and it could possibly catch fire. The 13A means that that fuse is set to 13 Amps of current, If it gets anything over that, the fuse will blow. Depending on the appliance the number will vary. 13A fuses are mostly used in the flexes of an appliance that have a high voltage, such as heating appliances like kettles fan heaters. When choosing a fuse for a plug you must choose a fuse that is higher than the current that the appliance has as current is higher when things are first switched on. If you choose a fuse that is too low for the appliance, the fuse will keep blowing out. Never choose a fuse that is too high for an appliance as this will not blow out if the current is too high.


13a - 15b -a plus 2b?

Re-ordering it : 13a - a -15b + 2b = 12a - 13b


What is 2a2-13a plus 15 equal when factored?

2a2 - 13a + 15 = (2a - 3) (a - 5)


How do you simplify 12a plus a?

13a


How do you simplify 6a2 - 6ab plus 7a2?

6a^2 - 6ab + 7a^2 = 13a^2 - 6ab = a * (13a - 6b)


What is the value of a in 13a - 6 plus a equals 5a plus 3 plus 3a?

13a - 6 + a = 5a + 3 + 3a 13a + a - 5a - 3a = 3 + 6 6a = 9 6a/6 = 9/6 a = 3/2
