Install the fuse that is required for the circuit.
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.
20 amp
Yes. You put a bigger fuse and you will melt the wire and cause a fire hazard.
Not a good thing to do! If you are blowing 10 amp fuses, you have a problem with that circuit. Putting a 30 amp fuse in its place can do more damage.

If it is the right size, then yes. But why would you want to do that? if the slot is meant for a 20 amp fuse then most likely there will be more than 10 amps running through it and it will blow almost imediately
Check the back of the fuse panel to make sure your putting the proper fuse in. But do NOT put a fuse to big in. So if your fuse panel calls for a 15 amp fuse, replace with 15 amp fuse.
Yes, you should use a 60 amp fuse in a 60 amp disconnect to ensure proper protection and compatibility with the electrical system. Using the correct amperage fuse helps prevent electrical hazards and keeps the circuit operating safely.
NO! The circuit wiring is protected by that 3.15 amp fuse. Put a 5 amp fuse in the circuit and the wiring may overheat and cause a fire. Never over-fuse any circuit even in an emergency.
You could, but it is not recommended. Overloading a circuit can start a fire.
No, you should not put a 25 amp fuse into a 20 amp slot. Fuses are designed to protect electrical circuits by breaking the connection when the current exceeds a certain limit. Using a higher-rated fuse can allow too much current to flow, potentially causing overheating, damage to wiring, or even fire hazards. Always use the correct fuse rating specified for the circuit.
