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.
The standard color coding for fuses in American wire is as follows: 15-amp fuse: blue 20-amp fuse: yellow 30-amp fuse: green
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.
The only way you can change a 15 amp to a 20 is you have to replace the 14 gauge wire going to it with a 12 gauge wire, then replace the 15 amp breaker with a 20 amp breaker. You can put a 15 amp outlet on a 20 amp circuit as long as there is more then one receptacle. A double receptacle counts as two receptacles. Steve Green Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
You can use the wire rated for 20 amps on a 15 amp receptacle but you can not use a 20 amp fuse on any device rated at 15 amps. This is a tricky part of the code about receptacle outlets, You can use a 15 amp duplex outlet on a 20 amp circuit. (duplex outlet two devices can plug in) If it is a single outlet then the outlet must be rated 20 amp. NEC table210.21(B)(3). ============ A 15 amp duplex receptacle can be wired to a 20 amp rated circuit. This means the breaker OR fuse protecting the circuit can be rated 20 amps if the wire is also rated at 20 amps (12 AWG). --Sparkfighter
15 and 20 amps for receptacles and lights, and anywhere from 20 to 60 amps for dedicated loads such as water heaters and air conditioning. The fuse size MUST be matched to the load and wire size, you cannot just arbitrarily pick one!
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

13 amp breaker. A fuse and circuit breaker perform the exact same function so they should be the exact same size. They protect the wiring within a circuit from overheating and catching on fire. A 13 amp breaker is a superior product that has a good chance of operating between 13 and 13½ amps, while a fuse might not blow until the current reaches 15 amps.
