Can you replace a 3 amp fuse with a 13 amp fuse?
absolutely not
A fuse for a 500watt transformer?
In the USA (110 voly supply) you should fit a 5 amp fuse. In Britain or Europe (230 volt supply) you should fit a 3 amp fuse.
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.
When should you replace 3 amp fuse with 13 amp?
Never. The wiring would not support that much current.
Why does a kettle have 13 amp fuse but a DVD player only has a 3 amp fuse?

Why does a kettle has a 13 amp fuse but a DVD player only has a 3 amp fuse?
it takes quite a bit more amps to create heat vs light
Why does a kettle have a 13 amp fuse and a DVD player only has a 3 amp fuse?
Because boiling water takes a lot more energy than reading and spinning a dvd disc.
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.
Should you use a 13amp in your plug or a 3amp for a side light?
For a side light, you should use a 3-amp fuse rather than a 13-amp fuse. Side lights typically have lower power requirements, and a 3-amp fuse provides adequate protection without being overly large for the application's needs. Using a 13-amp fuse could pose a safety risk, as it may not blow in the event of a fault, allowing excessive current to flow. Always ensure that the fuse matches the specifications of the light fixture.
In the UK can you put a 5 amp fuse in a 3 amp plug?
In the UK, you cannot put a 5 amp fuse in a 3 amp plug. The general rule of thumb is that you should use like for like.
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.
