Never. The wiring would not support that much current.

absolutely not
Can you replace fuse 13 a 20 amp fuse with a 30 amp fuse in a 1997 Chevy silverado?
Sure.If you want a fire, that is!AnswerNo. A 30A will cook the wire before it pops.
CAn you replace a 13 amp fuse with 15 amp fuse?
It will work but will not protect the circuit as it should. By design, the circuit should have a maximum of 13 amps, but with the larger fuse in place, currents of 14 and 15 amps can occur without blowing the fuse, and this flow could damage parts of the circuit. It would be much safer to use a lower value, which would lead to more blowing of the fuse but no damage to the circuit being protected.
What amp fuse does a kettle take?
In the YUK an electric kettle has a 13 amp fuse., together with a 250 voltage. However, in the USA the voltage is lower and so ther fuse amperage may be different.
What is the difference between a 3 amp fuse and a 13 amp fuse?
The difference between fuses is the current that they are designed to support. A fuse is intended as a safety measure to protect against overload. A 3 amp fuse should burn out if more than 3 amps is run through it, with some allowance for standard variance. A 13 amp fuse would burn out with greater than 13 amps. It is always a bad idea to use a fuse bigger than you need, because if your component is designed for a 3 amp fuse and you use a 13 amp fuse, there is a good chance you could damage your component with too much amperage because the fuse would not burn out at 3 amps, as was intended.
What is the difference between 3amp and 13amp fuse?
If the fuse thsat has blown is a 3 amp, you should only replace it with a 3 amp fuse, which is good for appliances up to 700 watts (In the UK, on 240 volts). Do not replace a 3 amp fuse with a 13 amp fuse, it gives much less protection. If you replace a 13 amp fuse with a 3 amp fuse, the 3 amp will likely blow, since the 13 amp fuse should be protecting a powerful appliance such as a heater, between 2000 watts and 3000 watts.
What are the correct fuses to use in the fuse box of a peugeot 205 gti 1.9 1989?
fuse number 1 is 10 amp fuse 2 is 25 amp fuse 3is 25 amp fuse 4 is a spare fuse 5 is 10 amp fuse 6 is a spare fuse 7 is 20 amp fuse 8 is 25 amp fuse 9 is 20 amp fuse 10 is 5 amp fuse 11 is 5 amp fuse 12 is a spare fuse 13 is 5 amp fuse 14 is 15 amp
Can you fit a 13 amp fuse with a 3 amp fuse?
If you do that the likelihood is that you will blow the 3A fuse quickly. There is a reason why the current fuse is what it is, because it is expecting currents around 80% of 13 A or around 10 A.
What fuse operates the convertible top on a XK8?
Fuse #13 or the 40 amp itm is the only forty amp
What is the difference between 13 and 15 amp saw?
The 13 amp fuse with blow at the lower rate to the 15 amp fuse. And At 15 amp the motor is normally more powerful - check the wattage used in both
WHAT IS A 13 AMP COOKER?
Plugs for appliances rated between about 700 watts and 3000 watts (the maximum rating of a wall socket) should be fitted with a 13-amp fuse (coloured brown).
What size Mini circuit breaker is the same as a 13 amp fuse?
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.
