When should you replace 3 amp fuse with 13 amp?
Never. The wiring would not support that much current.
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.
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.
Is it a safety hazard to replace a 3 amp fuse with a 5 amp fuse?

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.
In the UK can you put a 5 amp fuse in a 3 amp plug?
