The fuse will blow as soon as you turn it on. Use the correct fuse and nothing else.
The TV will over heat and it will end up damaged. It could even cause an electrical fire!!
An iron is going to use more electrical current than a kettle. The iron needs to be plugged in to stay hot. The kettle is usually unplugged after the contents reach the right temperature. <<>> The electric current drawn is the same for both appliances, 13 amps if they are both 13-amp devices. However an iron is usually a lower-power device of about 1 kW that would draw 4 amps on a 240 v supply, and its thermostat would operate to control the current so that it doesn't overheat. Some kettles have a 3-kW element which would draw 13 amps, but kettles are used only now and then. So both devices do not use a lot of energy.
Using a 13A fuse instead of a 5A fuse can pose significant safety risks. The 13A fuse allows a higher current to flow through the circuit, which could lead to overheating of wires and potentially cause a fire if the connected device is designed for lower current. This can damage the appliance and compromise electrical safety, as the fuse will not blow in case of an overload, defeating its purpose of protecting the circuit. Always use the appropriate fuse rating to ensure safe operation.
Yes provided the adaptor, or the plug that is plugged in, has a 13A fuse.
The current required for a kettle depends on its power rating, typically measured in watts (W). For example, a standard electric kettle might use around 1500 to 3000 watts. To calculate the current (in amperes), you can use the formula: Current (A) = Power (W) / Voltage (V). In most regions with a standard voltage of 230V, a 1500W kettle would draw about 6.5A, while a 3000W kettle would draw about 13A.
No, a 13A fuse should not be used in a plug designed for a 3A fuse. The purpose of the fuse is to protect the appliance and wiring from overheating and potential fire hazards; using a higher-rated fuse can lead to the appliance drawing more current than it is designed for, potentially causing damage or safety risks. Always use the correct fuse rating specified for the appliance to ensure safe operation.

A fuse is a circuit safety device. Asking this question must mean that the fuse has blown. It has blown for a reason. The reason has to be found before a new fuse is installed. If the reason has been found and corrected then the fuse that the manufacturer recommended should be re installed. It is your option to use a larger fuse that what is recommended. On a fault condition by not limiting the current to a certain amperage there is the chance that more damage to that circuit's components will occur and irreparable damage to the TV could make it useless.
To calculate VA (volt-amp), you can use the formula: VA = Volts x Amps. So, for 13A at 110V, the VA would be 1430 VA.
A Johnson outboard, model number CD-13A, would be a 1956 year model, 5.5 hp.
Re-ordering it : 13a - a -15b + 2b = 12a - 13b
This is intended to protect the flex of a plug. A fuse is a little wire that all of the electricity coming into the appliance flows through. If something goes wrong and the current is higher than it should be, this fuse will overheat and burn out, thus breaking the wire and cutting the flow of electricity. If there was no fuse, the circuit would not be broken, this could overheat the plug and it could possibly catch fire. The 13A means that that fuse is set to 13 Amps of current, If it gets anything over that, the fuse will blow. Depending on the appliance the number will vary. 13A fuses are mostly used in the flexes of an appliance that have a high voltage, such as heating appliances like kettles fan heaters. When choosing a fuse for a plug you must choose a fuse that is higher than the current that the appliance has as current is higher when things are first switched on. If you choose a fuse that is too low for the appliance, the fuse will keep blowing out. Never choose a fuse that is too high for an appliance as this will not blow out if the current is too high.
