This question could mean two things: A) You want to know if you can make your electrical service bigger. You can. In fact, if you have fuses, your current amperage is pretty low and most modern homes are installing 200 amp circuit breaker panels. Call an electrician to help you with this. B) You want to stop something from tripping, so you want to put in a bigger fuse than what's there. As below, DON'T do this. Fuses and circuit breakers are designed to prevent fire due to excess heat in an electrical system. Overrating the fuse, rather than fixing the problem causing the fuse to blow, will almost certainly cause fire. No, and if you don't know why you shouldn't be doing home electrical repair work. Get a book and read up on this.
== Yes you can, but it is NOT recommended under any circumstances! The "yes" answer is an honest one. You can put a fuse in a circuit that is several times the rating of the one that came out or that belongs in the fuse holder. But doing so is so totally nuts that only a fool of the first order would even consider doing it. Buildings have burned because of stuff like this, and fatalities have been recorded. You've been warned in every way possible. Please do a bit of homework and get up to speed on this kind of thing before diving headlong into it. The recommendations of the previous post are dead on target.

What is SEER in terms of home air conditioning?
The efficiency of air conditioners is often rated by the seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER). The higher the rating the more efficent the air conditioner is. A common misconception is that the SEER rating is also used on heating systems but it's only for air conditioners.
What is soft soldering?
Soft soldering is using a heat to fuse metals together. In home improvements this is a useful skill to have when dealing with pipes and wiring.
Why do three phase motors have dual voltage rating?
Some motors have dual voltage ratings because it is typically better to use the higher voltage if available because the current will be lower. However, the higher voltage may not be available everywhere so the unit is designed to work on the most available voltages if the higher voltage is not available. Since the motor in your question is more for a commercial use than at home, the range of available voltages may be limited at certain sites.
Why does my home AC charger charge my iPhone so much faster than my automobile DC charger?
Phone will charge faster with a larger charging current. Charging current depends on voltage, so your home charger likely has a higher voltage and therefore a higher charging current.
In a circuit what does an fuse do?
A fuse is used in a circuit to protect the other elements in a circuit. Fuses are rated at different currents and voltages. When the rated current is exceeded the fuse will blow. For that reason fuses are placed in circuits to protect other more expensive items. For example you find fuses in your home. If there was a sudden surge in current coming into your house the fuse will blow and power will be cut to the circuit it is attached to. If that fuse wasn't there the other elements in that circuit would be exposed to the current surge. This would cause damage to that object and if it is something like a computer or tv etc they are not that cheap to replace. So ultimately a fuse is put in place to make sure that other equipment isn't damaged by current surges etcbecauswe the yd o#
How do you remove a fuse from fuse box home?
You simply unscrew it counterclockwise. Get a new fuse of the same rating and screw it back in.
What is meant by ratting of fuse?
A fuse is given a various rating (strength). For instance, a home appliance (washing machine, etc) would usually have a fuse with a 13 amp rating. While a low powered lamp would only merit a 2 or 5 amp fuse rating. It is important to use a fuse of the correct rating in amps for each electrical appliance.
How do you change a fuse in a fuse box?
To change a fuse in a fuse box, first, locate the fuse box in your home. Turn off the main power switch to ensure safety. Identify the blown fuse by checking for a darkened or broken filament. Use a fuse puller or pliers to remove the blown fuse. Replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage rating. Turn the main power switch back on to restore power.
How can I change a house fuse?
To change a house fuse, first locate the fuse box in your home. Turn off the main power switch to ensure safety. Identify the blown fuse by checking for a darkened or broken filament. Use a fuse puller or pliers to remove the blown fuse. Replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage rating. Make sure the new fuse is securely in place before turning the power back on.
How do you remove a fuse from a fuse box?
To remove a fuse from a fuse box, first, locate the fuse box in your home or car. Use a fuse puller tool or a pair of needle-nose pliers to grip the fuse firmly. Gently pull the fuse straight out of its slot. Make sure to replace the fuse with one of the same amperage rating to avoid electrical issues.
How can I safely perform a home fuse replacement?
To safely perform a home fuse replacement, follow these steps: Turn off the main power switch to cut off electricity to the fuse box. Use a flashlight to locate the blown fuse. Use a fuse puller or insulated pliers to remove the blown fuse. Replace the blown fuse with a new one of the same amperage rating. Turn the main power switch back on and test the new fuse to ensure it is working properly.
How do you replace a fuse in a fuse box?
To replace a fuse in a fuse box, first, locate the fuse box in your home. Turn off the main power switch to ensure safety. Identify the blown fuse by checking for a darkened or broken filament. Use a fuse puller or pliers to remove the blown fuse. Insert a new fuse of the same amperage rating into the slot. Turn the main power back on and test to ensure the new fuse is working properly.
Why are fuses used in the electrical circuits at home?
The fuse is supposed to be the weakest link in the circuit. The circuit is rated to handle a specific load current. The wire and insulation rating of the circuit is governed by this specific load. If this load malfunctions and the load current becomes higher that what is specified, the fuse is there to break the circuit. Never over fuse an electrical circuit with a larger amp rated fuse. <<>> for overcurrent protection nec art, 240
How do you get your monstar letter higher in moshi monsters?
Your MonSTAR rating shows how popular you are. To get a higher level, (starting as Z and going up to A) you get your friends and other monster owners to visit your home.
What is the process for ac fuse replacement in a home air conditioning system?
To replace an AC fuse in a home air conditioning system, first, turn off the power to the unit. Locate the fuse box, usually near the outdoor unit. Identify the blown fuse by checking for a blackened or broken filament. Remove the old fuse and replace it with a new one of the same amperage rating. Turn the power back on and test the system to ensure it is working properly.
Where can you find a 10 amp 125 volt fuse at?
Assuming the wiring is sized for 12 amps, you can replace your fuse with any 12 amp fuse or smaller and with a voltage rating at or above what you expect to connect to it. The amp rating protects the wire, so you cannot go above what the wire can handle. The voltage rating is the max voltage that it can safely protect, so you cannot use a fuse with a lower voltage rating than you expect to connect to.
