What is 13 amp plug?
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.
Can a 1580 watt microwave be connected to a 15 amp circuit?
Yes, if the manufacturer installed a parallel blade 15 amp rating cap on the end of the cord then just plug it in. The circuit that you plug into should be a dedicated circuit (nothing else on the circuit) because the amperage will be 13 amps at 120 volts.
How many 1.2 amp lights can a 20 amp breaker hold?
No more than 13 maximum on a 20 amp circuit.
Can you wire a 240 volt oven to a 13 amp plug?
From your question, and the terminology used, you appear to be referring to the UK residential electrical system. The following answer therefore refers only to a UK installation.Most ovens ('cookers') are designed to operate on a separate circuit with its own circuit breaker or fuse (e.g. 30 A for ovens up to 12 kW, or 45 A for ovens above 12 kW). Trying to operate such a oven from a 13-A circuit will simply cause the plug's fuse to operate, disconnecting the oven from the supply. So, while the oven will be protected, you won't be able to use it as it will keep blowing the fuse in the plug! It certainly won't melt the plug, as suggested in the original answer.However, some small, countertop, ovens (e.g. the 'Baby Belling' brand), which are specifically designed for use in the kitchens of small flats or apartments ('bed sitters') are specifically designed to run off a 13-A plug.
Can you put a 13 amp fuse in a 10amp plug?
In most cases that will work just fine. But it might not; you just have to try. Going smaller is safe.
What are the pins for a 13 amp plug made from?
The pins of a 13 amp plug are typically made from brass, which is chosen for its excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion. They are often plated with nickel to provide additional protection against wear and oxidation. The design ensures a secure and reliable electrical connection while also adhering to safety standards.

Can 15amp plug work on 13amp extension lead?
Yes, a 15-amp plug can work on a 13-amp extension lead, but it’s not recommended. While the plug will fit, the extension lead is rated for a maximum of 13 amps, which may not safely handle the potential load of a 15-amp device. This could lead to overheating or a risk of fire. Always use plugs and leads that are compatible with each other for safety.
How many 500 watt flood lights can you put on a 13 amp plug?
Depending on the efficiency of the flood lights, you should be able to safely run one 500 watt flood light on a 13 amp plug. Keep in mind that it's important not to exceed the amp limit to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards.
Which electricity plug in Cyprus?
Cyprus uses the same 13 Amp, 3 pin plugs that are used in the UK.
Can you change a 13 amp fuse for a 15 amp?
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.
Can a 13 amp power cord replace a 15 amp power cord?
Yes, but don't try to put 15 amps through it! You might need to change your plug too!
What would happen if you put a 13 amp fuse in your computer plug?
A 13 amp fuse that is in-line with a computer plug would stop the computer from ever using more than 13 amps, and would blow the fuse to do so. Before doing that, make certain that the wire and all other devices up to and including the computer power supply can adequately deal with 13 amps.
What plug is used in southern Ireland?
The standard domestic electricity supply in Ireland is 230 volt AC (frequency 50hz). The most common plug used is the 13 amp three-pin plug.
Can 6 unit of 6 volt bulb fit a 13 amp plug?
No, a 13 amp plug is designed for higher power devices like appliances and electronics. A 6 unit of 6 volt bulb typically requires much less power and would be better suited for a lower amp plug or a transformer.
