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.
Every 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.
The 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.
On rated current
The plugs and sockets should be physically different so that it doesn't fit, but if it was adapted to fit, it would either blow the fuse or do some damage, and could start a fire.
All UK-style 13-A plugs are fitted with a fuse for the purpose of overcurrent protection. The fuse rating must be appropriate for the load supplied by the plug, up to a maximum of 13 A.
Yes provided the adaptor, or the plug that is plugged in, has a 13A fuse.
dnt noe!
The fuse rating it 15 Amps and the size is 3AG..can be accessed by unscrewing the tip of the plug in connector.
A fuse doesn't 'power' an electrical plug. A fuse protects the load supplied by that plug.
A fuse is fitted to a plug as a safety feature.
The auxiliary plug fuse can be found in the fuse box. The location of the fuse can be found on the inside cover of the fuse box.
The fuse has blown. Find the fuse box, find the fuse, replace/reset, get on with life. *********is fuse box the plug hole with a switch on it? There isn't one in the room, and how do I know if I found the right one?
No, fuse box fuses are of the screw in type. Plug in fuses are of a cartridge style that plug into the fuse holder which supports the fuse on either end of the cartridge.
The fuse is a safety feature.
no theirs no fuse
The plugs and sockets should be physically different so that it doesn't fit, but if it was adapted to fit, it would either blow the fuse or do some damage, and could start a fire.
There is no fuse in the unit itself. The fuse in the charger in in the plug.
where is the glow plug fuse on a1995 masda bongo
If the fuse won't fit then you have the wrong size fuse. They make several different sizes and amps.
A 4-amp fuse.
