Yes, using an SL-20 fuse in place of an SL-15 fuse can be hazardous. The SL-20 fuse is rated for a higher amperage than the SL-15, which means it may allow excessive current to flow through the circuit, potentially leading to overheating, equipment damage, or even electrical fires. Always use fuses that match the original specifications to ensure safety and compliance with electrical codes.
