A fuse is a passive device with a conductor that melts when it gets too hot due to the lack of resistance from the load on the circuit.
A fuse will not work successfully if it is connected in parallel with the device it is supposed to protect.First, it will blow because it has no resistance in series with it. Second, once it blows, the device still has power applied to it. Fuses must be wired in series.
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.
A fuse is a safety device in an electrical circuit that is designed to break the circuit when current exceeds a certain level. This helps prevent overheating and potential fires by interrupting the flow of electricity. Fuses protect electrical devices and wiring from damage due to overloads or short circuits.
A fuse is an electric safety device that easily melts in response to overheating or overloading in the circuit. When a fuse melts, it breaks the circuit and cuts off the power supply to prevent further damage or risk of fire.

The recommended amperage for a fuse to be used with a device that requires a 2.5A fuse is 3A.
An example of a circuit protection device is a fuse. Another example is a circuit breaker.
The recommended amperage for a fuse to use with a device that requires a 2.5 amp fuse is 3 amps.
the fuse is placed in series with the device
The device that the fuse is protecting is causing the fuse to blow. It could be in the conductors that feed the device. Disconnect the device and see if the fuse blows. If it doesn't, then the wiring to the device is good. If the device is a motor load it could be seized bearing that cause the problem. With the rotor stalled the current will go high and blow the fuse. If you know an electrician, see if the device can be meggered to see if the internal wiring has gone to ground and is short circuiting as this will also cause a fuse to blow.
This safety device is called a fusible link that is situated inside of a fuse cartridge.
A fuse or circuit breaker will fit this description.
If your reference to a safety device is a fuse, then if there is a short circuit, the circuit will be de energized by the opening of the fuse.

A Fuse
A fuse is an electric device that interrupts the flow of electric current when overloaded. The fuse pump will therefore perform the similar task.
A fuse will not work successfully if it is connected in parallel with the device it is supposed to protect.First, it will blow because it has no resistance in series with it. Second, once it blows, the device still has power applied to it. Fuses must be wired in series.
