Sure, you can replace a 15 amp fuse with a 30 amp fuse, but it's not recommended. The 30 amp fuse has a higher current rating, which means it can allow more current to flow through the circuit than what it was designed for. This can pose a fire hazard and damage your electrical equipment. So, technically you can do it, but it's like putting a square peg in a round hole - it might fit, but it's not a good idea.
You can replace a higher rating fuse with a lower rating provided it works with the device without constantly blowing. So try the 30 amp fuse in your lawnmower and if it doesn't blow and the mower works okay, you are fine. If it blows you will have to go back to 40.
I've never heard of a 16 amp fuse. -I guess it depends where you are. In north America, 15, 20 and 30 amp fuses are common, 40 are also used less commonly. A typical north American water heater uses 2 x 30 amp fuses or breakers. Please write in with detail of WHERE you are in questions like this.
This is not a good idea to do. Sometimes just that little bit of extra current that the 45 amp fuse will allow to reach the 40 amp load might be enough to destroy the device.
You have to rewire the circuit completely with 10 AWG wire and replace all outlets and switches with devices rated at 25 Amps. Note 25 Amp breaker is an unusual size. 10 AWG will go up to 30 amps, and that would be the way to go.
What size is the wire? AWG 10, 600V is rated for 30 amps. Any AWG less than 6 would also be ok for a 30 amp circuit....
Replace the 30 Amp Breaker with a 15 Amp breaker.
Not a good idea. The 15 amp fuse will be protection a #14 wire which is rated for 15 amps maximum capacity. By changing the 15 amp fuse to a 30 amp fuse you would then be allowing 30 amps maximum capacity on a #14 wire. By doubling the load the extra heat generated on the smaller wire could be enough to melt the insulation from the wire and that could cause the wire to short out. If the wire shorts out inside the wall it means the removal of the wall board to replace the wire to restore the circuit to an operational condition. The proper wire sizing for a 30 amp fuse is, #10 copper wire with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C.
You can replace a higher rating fuse with a lower rating provided it works with the device without constantly blowing. So try the 30 amp fuse in your lawnmower and if it doesn't blow and the mower works okay, you are fine. If it blows you will have to go back to 40.
It is not recommended to replace a 30 amp fuse with a 25 amp fuse in a central AC unit. The fuse should match the specified amperage requirements to prevent damage or overheating of the unit. Using a lower amp fuse could potentially lead to electrical issues or failure of the AC unit.
The standard color coding for fuses in American wire is as follows: 15-amp fuse: blue 20-amp fuse: yellow 30-amp fuse: green
Sure.If you want a fire, that is!AnswerNo. A 30A will cook the wire before it pops.
Fuse 18 and its a 30 amp fuse, i hope you have sorted this as you will have no reverse lights aswell
I tis in the fuse block under the dash on the drivers side. Replace the 30 amp fuse marked Blower.
A cigarette lighter fuse is normally a 15 or 20 amp fuse depending on what other accessories are using that circuit. I doubt that it is a 30 amp fuse. Maybe someone installed the wrong fuse.
The blower motor could stop working if it blew the 20 amp fuse. That's probably the worst that would happen. You should replace it with a 30 amp fuse, if that is what's called for in your manual.
The maximum amperage capacity of a 30 amp fuse box is 30 amps.
you need 30 pus
