The formula you are looking for is Amps = Watts divided by Volts. Once you find the amperage you can decide as to the size of a fuse you should use. Remember that fusing protects the conductors of the circuit and not the load of the circuit. A #14 wire is rated at 15 amps and can legally be loaded only to 12 amps.

Can you use a 60 watt light bulb in place of a 67 watt bulb?

yes, it can be used - single phase voltage of 230v. 50HZ is important


What size fluorescent bulb replaces a 60 watt incandescent bulb?

A 13-15 watt compact fluorescent bulb (CFL) or a 9-11 watt LED bulb is roughly equivalent to a 60 watt incandescent bulb in terms of light output.


Can you use a 36 watt fuse for a 40 watt fluorescent bulb?

Fuses are not rated in wattage, they are rated in amperage and voltage.


What minimum fuse rating is needed for a 12volt curcuit with a 36 watt bulb?

To calculate the minimum fuse rating needed for a 36W bulb on a 12V circuit, divide the wattage by the voltage (36W / 12V = 3A). Therefore, a minimum 3A fuse would be sufficient for a 36W bulb on a 12V circuit.


Can A 70 watt metal halide bulb be replaced with A 150 watt halide bulb?

No. A 70 Watt metal halide bulb can not be replaced with a 150 Watt halide bulb.


Can you use a 67 watt light bulb in place of a 60 watt bulb?

It is not recommended to use a 67 watt bulb in place of a 60 watt bulb as the higher wattage could potentially cause overheating issues. It is best to stick with the recommended wattage for the fixture to ensure safety and proper functionality.


What rating on a led bulb do you need to provide the same amount of lights a 60 watt bulb?

Will a 150 watt halogen bulb blow your fuse?

It is possible for a 150 watt halogen bulb to blow a fuse if it draws more electrical current than the circuit can handle. It is important to check that the circuit can support the wattage of the bulb to prevent overload and potential fuse blowing.


What it is the difference between 100 watts and 75 watt light bulb?

The main difference between a 100-watt and a 75-watt light bulb is the amount of light output they produce. A 100-watt bulb will be brighter and consume more energy compared to a 75-watt bulb. The 100-watt bulb may also generate more heat than the 75-watt bulb.


What size fuse for 9 watt uv bulb?

this is a highly complex issue becuasu the bulb is the important part of a lamp. so i personally feel after much research and condsideration i feel that i bulb with a 75mm fuse would be highly reccommended :) thankyou for testing my knowledge.
