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.

Can you replace a 30 amp fuse with a 15 amp fuse?

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.


Can a 30 amp fuse replace a 40 amp fuse on a lawnmower?

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.


Can a 25 amp fuse replace a 30 amp fuse in a central ac unit?

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.

What fuse is for cigarette lighter in 2004 Alero it has a 30 fuse in slot 34 but from what I have read it should be a 20 which is it?

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.


My mercury manual says to use a 30 amp fuse for the blower motor however someone put a 20 amp fuse in. Would this cause my blower motor not to work?

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.
