Appliances have what is called a nameplate on them. Thisprovides model and serial number info., but also how much current, volts, and watts the appliance is rated for. You will need to read this in order to know how to size the overload protection. In America, the NEC requires two 20-Amp small appliance circuits in new or remodeled kitchens. The refridge circuit is generally on it's own 15-Amp circuit. The microwave (if built-in over the range) is also on it's own 15-Amp circuit. The dishwasher and disposal generally will share a 20-Amp circuit.

∙ 12y agoEvery plug has the maximum amps it can carry written on it. Any fuse you may want to fit in cannot be above that current rating of the plug. If the plug does carry any current rating, then you can meet a qualified electrician who will determine the size of the cable and know which fuse to use.

∙ 6y agoThe correct size fuse is determine by the size wire used in that circuit. In a kitchen you would use AWG # 12 wire which requires the use of a 20 amp fuse. An electric cloths dryer would require AWG # 10 wire with a 30 amp fuse. The fuse or breaker always corresponds to the size wire not the appliance being used.
