Blowing fuse versus vibration


NO, vibration would not be the cause.

The cause for fuses to "blow" is the flow of electrical current in excess of the capability of the wire to carry.

Fuses are designed, manufactured, and installed to protect the wire from over-current conditions which could cause the wire to melt its insulation an cause a fire.

Some ignorant people will suggest installing a larger fuse, but that will not solve the problem, AND...

Can cause serious damage to any electrical equipment on the circuit, and..

In a "worst case" situation, cause a fire which can destroythe entire electrical system, and possibly your vehicle.

Can you replace a 7.5 fuse with a 5 or 10?

You cannot because a five amp fuse would blow because the original fuse was seven point five. and a ten amp fuse would not blow quick enough to save or even be safe to use it in whatever you are using it for.


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.

Can you replace a 15 amp fuse with a 1 million amp fuse?

Surely you have had too much eggnog. A fuse is designed to blow if the rated current is exceeded. So the answer is definitely no. If there were such a thing as a million amp fuse you would need a giant crane to even lift it.


Can you replace a 20 amp fuse in your car with a 25 amp due to the fuse keep blowing?

Yes you can but you are setting yourself up for a big problem. There is a reason the 20 amp fuse is blowing. By installing a bigger fuse it allows the current that is causing the 20 amp fuse to blow to stay in for a longer period of time. This can cause excessive heating and melting of the wires on the circuit that is blowing on a 20 amp fuse. Trace the wire and find the fault. Always use the manufacturer's recommended fuse sizing for your own protection.
