A 5-amp fuse in a plug is used to protect electrical devices from excessive current that could cause overheating or damage. It acts as a safety mechanism, interrupting the circuit if the current exceeds 5 amps, thus preventing potential electrical fires or equipment failure. This rating is typically suitable for low-power appliances like lamps or small electronic devices. Always ensure that the fuse rating matches the requirements of the connected appliance for optimal protection.

What happens if i use 5amp instead of 3 amp?
Using a 5 amp instead of a 3 amp fuse in a circuit may cause the fuse to not blow when it needs to, leading to potential overheating or damage to the circuit components. It could also result in the circuit drawing more current than it is designed for, which may pose a fire hazard. It's important to always use the correct amperage fuse for safety.
