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 you use a 15 amp fuse instead of a 10 amp fuse for your car gauges?

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.


How do you change from 15 amp fuse to 20 amp fuse?

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


Can you use a 20 amp fuse and wire rated for it in a 15 amp outlet?

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


Can you use a 250v 15 amp fuse for a 125v 15 amp?

No, it is not safe to use a 250V 15A fuse in a 125V circuit. The voltage rating of the fuse should match or exceed the circuit voltage to ensure safety. Using a lower voltage rated fuse can lead to overheating and potentially create a fire hazard. Always use the correct fuse rating for your circuit.

If your fuse box supports 20 amp fuses can you replace one current 15 amp fuse with a 20 amp fuse?

The purpose of a fuse it to protect the wire that goes to the load. A 15 amp fuse protects a #14 gauge wire. A 20 amp fuse protects a #12 gauge wire. To answer your question if the wire size is #12 coming from the 15 amp fuse now then it can be upped to 20 amp fuse. If it isn't then you are taking the risk of overloading the #14 wire with a 20 amp fuse. This can lead to insulation failure of the #14 wire, overheating with the possible outcome of a fire breaking out somewhere in the circuit.
