A 3 amp fuse is used to protect electrical circuits by preventing excessive current flow that could cause overheating or damage to the wiring and connected devices. It is rated to blow and interrupt the circuit when the current exceeds 3 amps, ensuring safety and preventing potential fire hazards. Selecting the appropriate fuse rating is essential for the specific device or application to ensure proper protection without nuisance blowing during normal operation.

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 replace a 10 amp fuse with a 20 amp fuse?
NO! Using a larger amp fuse defeats the purpose of the fuse to protect the wiring in the circuit. This can cause a fire. Always use the correct amp fuse for that circuit.
Can you replace a 20 amp fuse with a 10 amp fuse?
NO! Using a larger amp fuse defeats the purpose of the fuse to protect the wiring in the circuit. This can cause a fire. Always use the correct amp fuse for that circuit.

Can you use a 5 amp fuse instead of a 4 amp fuse in a television?
I have never seen a 4 amp fuse, only 3 and 5. The peak power draw and dump is when you switch on and off your TV. Try a 3 amp and if it blows when you turn it on, then no, your particular TV can't use a 3 amp fuse. Don't worry about this test, it shouldn't damage the TV and fuses cost so little.
