I know what would happen. The three amp fuse would blow. Any device that is plugged into a receptacle with out having sufficient resistance to limit the current flow will dead short the circuit and cause the breaker that feeds the circuit to trip. In this case the fuse being of a lower rating that the feed breaker the fuse will blow without tripping the receptacle's feed breaker.

What do you think would happen if you put a 3 A fuse in a plug used fr a kettle?

If you put a 3 A fuse in a plug used for a kettle that requires more than 3 A to operate, the fuse would likely blow frequently as it cannot handle the current required by the kettle. This can lead to power interruptions and potentially damage the electrical components of the kettle. It is important to use the correct amperage fuse to ensure safe and proper operation.
