pertaining to what voltage. 120 volts start at 15 amps outlets.

Sorry, normal domestic supply. 240 volts.

Answer

The question relates to the UK's 230-V residential circuits. The answer is that you cannot upgrade from a 5-A socket outlet (obsolete for a great many years!) to a 13-A socket without completely rewiring the residence with appropriate-sized conductors installed as a ring main.

Can you plug a 120V amplifier into a regular socket in a household?

No, you can not plug a 240 volt amplifier into a 120 volt outlet. That said there are a number of step-up transformers available that will convert 110V to 220V - that's the simplest way to do it. You should make sure the transformer is rated at many times the power of your amplifier, because of inefficiencies in the amplifier. Look on your amplifier to see how many amps it uses at 220V. Double that number for going to 110 and add 20% more amps as a conversion margin. Take that number and multiply it by 110 to get the watts you need to supply. Size the transformer accordingly. eg. 5 amps @ 220V 5 amps * 2 = 10 amps 10*20% = 2 amps Total amps = 12 amps 12 amps*110 = 1320 watts In this example a transformer rated at or above the calculated wattage is recommended.

What does fuse rating of 5 amps mean?

A fuse rating of 5 amps means that the fuse will break the circuit if the current passing through it exceeds 5 amps. It acts as a safety measure to protect the circuit from damage due to excessive current flow.


How many amps DC is 12 volts 1.5 amps at 5 volts?

To calculate the amperage at 12 volts based on 1.5 amps at 5 volts, you can use the formula P=IV (Power = Current x Voltage). First, find the power at 5 volts (P=1.5A * 5V = 7.5 watts). Then, using P=IV at 12 volts, solve for current (7.5W = I * 12V => I = 0.625A). So, at 12 volts, 1.5 amps at 5 volts translates to approximately 0.625 amps.

Not sure what you are asking here. Are you talking about fuses? Is this in a vehicle or in a house? Are you in America or in a country that uses 240 Volts instead of 110?

Can a 5-15p plug be used in a 5-20p socket. I have bought new equipment that uses 5-20p. If I rewire to support it will the socket be able to be used with 5-15 plugs or will it be only for 5-20?

Yes, a 5-15P can be connected to a 5-20R (but not the other way around). If it is an L5-20R, then no. Be sure to use the correct gauge wiring when adding a 5-20R as it is for up to 20 amps; you cannot use the same gauge that is normally used for 5-15R (15 amps).

What is the difference between 5 amps and 10 amps?

The main difference between 5 amps and 10 amps is the amount of current flowing through a circuit. 10 amps is double the amount of current compared to 5 amps, which means a 10 amp circuit can handle twice as much power without overloading.


What are the three main fuses for a plug?

Answer for UK, Europe and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.In the UK the power plugs are the standard 240 v 3-pin 13 amp variety and they can be fitted with 13 amp fuses. Other common fuse ratings that can be put in are 5 amps and 3 amps for low-power equipment, and it is also possible to buy other fuses like 1 amp, 7 amps and 10 amps.
