I would say no as it could blow and if majorly can damage the plug and can be expensive to repair
It's the standard Type 'G' 3-pin plug used in the UK for electrical equipment and appliances. It should always contain a cartridge fuse of the right size to match the current or "amperage" drawn by the equipment/appliance it is supplying with power. Standard fuses to fit the plug are available in 13 amp, 5 amp, 3 amp and 1 amp sizes. For more information see the Related Link and the answer to the Related Question shown below.
It is a fuse that is rated in one thousandths of an amp. An example, a 500 mA fuse can also be called a 1/2 amp fuse.
7.2kW shower = 32 Amp fuse = 6 mm2 cable size7.5kW shower = 40 Amp fuse = 10 mm2 cable size8.5kW shower = 40 Amp fuse = 10 mm2 cable size9.5kW shower = 40/45 Amp fuse = 10 mm2 cable size10.5kW shower = 45 Amp fuse = 16mm2 cable size
No, a 3.15 amp fuse should not be used to replace a 4 amp fuse. The 4 amp fuse is designed to handle higher current loads, while the 3.15 amp fuse may blow prematurely under those conditions, potentially leading to circuit failure or equipment damage. Always replace fuses with one of the same rating to ensure proper protection and functionality.
20 amp on a 12 volt system
well it might give you a clue, i would suggest a 5 ampere fuse for that 5 amp plug
In the UK, you cannot put a 5 amp fuse in a 3 amp plug. The general rule of thumb is that you should use like for like.
A 4-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.

Fuse # 55- 25 amp.
Yes. You put a bigger fuse and you will melt the wire and cause a fire hazard.
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.
No, you could overload the wiring and start a fire.
No, it is not safe to use a 15 amp plug on a 20 amp circuit as it can overload the circuit and potentially cause a fire hazard.
It can cause a fire. The circuit is protected by the 5 amp fuse. This fuse is protecting the wiring in the circuit from overheating and catching fire. Install a 10 amp fuse and the protection is lost. Very dangerous to substitute a larger fuse.
Yes, but you will need to ensure that a 5-A fuse is fitted inside the plug. '13-A' is its nominal rated current; the actual current is determined by the load which, in your question is 5 A. So a 5-A device is perfectly safe to use with a 13-A plug.
