A kettle typically has a 13 amp fuse to protect against electrical faults and prevent overheating. The 13 amp rating is suitable for the high power consumption of kettles, which can draw significant current when heating water. This fuse ensures that if there is a fault, such as a short circuit, it will blow and cut off the power, reducing the risk of fire or damage to the appliance. Additionally, using a 13 amp fuse aligns with standard electrical safety regulations in many regions.
In the YUK an electric kettle has a 13 amp fuse., together with a 250 voltage. However, in the USA the voltage is lower and so ther fuse amperage may be different.
Your telling us ask us anything you just put stupid questions
it takes quite a bit more amps to create heat vs light

Because boiling water takes a lot more energy than reading and spinning a dvd disc.
absolutely not
12 to 13 amps
The appropriate fuse size for a kettle is typically 13 amps. This is because most kettles have a power rating between 2000 to 3000 watts, which requires a 13 amp fuse to handle the current safely. Always check the manufacturer's specifications to ensure compliance with their recommendations. Using a fuse of the correct size helps prevent electrical hazards.
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.
fuse number 1 is 10 amp fuse 2 is 25 amp fuse 3is 25 amp fuse 4 is a spare fuse 5 is 10 amp fuse 6 is a spare fuse 7 is 20 amp fuse 8 is 25 amp fuse 9 is 20 amp fuse 10 is 5 amp fuse 11 is 5 amp fuse 12 is a spare fuse 13 is 5 amp fuse 14 is 15 amp
Fuse #13 or the 40 amp itm is the only forty amp
The 13 amp fuse with blow at the lower rate to the 15 amp fuse. And At 15 amp the motor is normally more powerful - check the wattage used in both
