The size of the fuse for an iron typically depends on its wattage. Most household irons range from 1200 to 1800 watts, which generally requires a fuse rated between 10 to 13 amps. It's important to check the manufacturer's specifications for the specific model to ensure safety and proper functioning. Always use a fuse that matches the appliance's requirements to prevent overheating and potential hazards.
On a fault condition of the circuit, the current most likely will not be removed. If this happens components in the circuit will most likely act as a fuse and will components will be completely destroyed. This is why the manufacturer recommends what size of fuse to use in their equipment and this fuse size should always be used.
A 20 amp fuse should be safe to use.Did someone take it out because it blows fuses?? Mark
It's a 15 amp fuse. It is in the no 1 position on the fuse box. The fuse box is located on the drivers side; you can see it when you open the door its flush against the panel that has the steering wheel.
The fuse you use is determined by the load on the circuit and the size wiring used in that circuit not the battery voltage.
A standard fuse size for a current of 315 amps would not be practical due to the high current flow. It is recommended to use alternative protection devices such as a circuit breaker or contactor for currents of this magnitude.
To determine the appropriate fuse size for a 10A heater, you should ideally use a fuse with a rating slightly higher than the device's operating current. In this case, a 15A fuse would be suitable to allow for a margin of safety while still protecting the circuit from overcurrent conditions.
It is a 20 amp fuse and located in position 27.

The answer lies on the inside of the cover of the fuse box. There is a sticker that contains this information.
The fuse is matched to the size wire in the circuit the breaker/fuse it is protecting. For instance, a 20 amp breaker/fuse is used in combination with AWG 12/2 wire. A 15 amp breaker/fuse would be used with AWG 14/2 wire. If there is too much current flow in the circuit caused by either overloading the circuit or by a short in the wires the wiring would overheat and catch fire if not for the breaker/fuse. The breaker/fuse is designed to detect this and to trip or blow and shut off all power flowing to that circuit and prevent a fire. This is why you should never install the wrong size fuse. Put a 20 amp fuse on a 15 amp circuit and it would not protect the circuit as it should.
Iron can be found in certain types of fuses, specifically in those designed for high-current applications, such as circuit breakers or fuses used in electrical systems. These fuses often contain an iron core or use iron components to enhance conductivity and thermal management. Additionally, iron may be used in fuse elements that rely on a specific melting point to interrupt electrical flow when overloaded. However, the use of iron in fuses is less common compared to materials like copper or aluminum.
If the 2 amps is the output amperage of the power supply, the maximum that should be drawn from the unit is 2 amps. The load amperage that is connected to the power supply should govern the amperage of the fuse used. There is not much range there, the fusing could go from .25 to 2 amps. If the input amperage is 2 amps then the input and output voltage of the power supply should be stated.
