In the UK, you cannot put a 5 amp fuse in a 3 amp plug. The general rule of thumb is that you should use like for like.
In the glove compartment fuse box, its fuse position #30 and its a 20 amp fuse.
look for "small light" fuse, is 15 amp, strange how they listed it. It is Fuse #10 on the passenger front side behind panel.
In the power distribution box, in the engine compartment of a 1997 Explorer, (PD BOX IS LIVE - DISCONNECT YOUR BATTERY CABLES ) in location # 2 there is a 30 amp maxi-fuse for the PCM power relay in location # 11 there is a 20 amp maxi-fuse for the PCM MEMORY and horn Relay# 5 is the PCM POWER RELAY and diode # 2 is the PCM DIODE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In your fuse panel - visible with the driver's door open location # 13 - 15 amp fuse - for PCM system/stoplamps/AWD/ABS/speed control/ trailer tow location # 19 - 25 amp fuse - for PCM system/ ignition coil
( # 41 ) - 20 amp mini fuse - cigar lighter , diagnostic connector power according to the owners manual
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.
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.
No, a 700 amp fuse would not be suitable for a 500 amp circuit. The fuse amperage rating should be equal to or slightly higher than the circuit's maximum amperage to provide proper protection. In this case, a 500 amp fuse or slightly higher would be the appropriate choice.
In the YUK an electric kettle has a 13 amp fuse., together with a 250 voltage. However, in the USA the voltage is lower and so ther fuse amperage may be different.
You can put a lower AMP fuse in as Temp, but it is recommended to use the rated fuse. A lower current fuse might blow when it shouldn't. But it won't post any serious danger. You might want to find out why the fuse blew in the first place. Good luck.
The 13 amp fuse with blow at the lower rate to the 15 amp fuse. And At 15 amp the motor is normally more powerful - check the wattage used in both
You could replace it with a 3A fuse. You should never replace a fuse with one which is rated higher.
You could on a temporary basis, but it would blow as soon as the aggregate current on the circuit reached 5A instead of 10A. Replacing a higher value fuse with a lower fuse is not a safety hazard, but the other way around would be a hazard if you replaced a 5A with a 10 A.
The main difference between a 5 amp fuse and a 6 amp fuse lies in their respective current-carrying capacities. A 5 amp fuse is designed to safely carry up to 5 amperes of current before breaking the circuit to protect the electrical components from damage due to overload. On the other hand, a 6 amp fuse can handle up to 6 amperes of current before breaking the circuit. Therefore, the 6 amp fuse has a slightly higher current rating and can tolerate a slightly higher load compared to the 5 amp fuse.
It is NEVER a good idea to use a higher value fuse. The reason for the 10 Amp fuse is that it blows at 10 amps which the wire and device being protected is designed to handle. If you substitute 15 amps and that amount of current flows in your device, it may destroy the device and other things in the path of the current.
No, a 3.15 amp fuse should not be used to replace a 4 amp fuse. The 4 amp fuse is designed to handle higher current loads, while the 3.15 amp fuse may blow prematurely under those conditions, potentially leading to circuit failure or equipment damage. Always replace fuses with one of the same rating to ensure proper protection and functionality.
not smart to do it cant carry the load of the circuit it will blow. in emergency maybe but never go with a higher rating
