For an appliance that consumes more than 720 watts, a fuse rated appropriately for the appliance's current draw is required. Typically, you would calculate the required fuse rating by dividing the wattage by the voltage (e.g., 720 watts at 230 volts requires a fuse rated for at least 3.13 amps, so a 5-amp fuse would be suitable). Always consult the appliance’s specifications and local electrical codes to ensure compliance and safety. Additionally, consider using a fuse that provides some margin above the calculated current.
What else can I help you with?
How many watts is 263AW?
AW is not a recognised abbreviation so more information is needed, like what kind of appliance it is.
What does the power rating of an electrical appliance mean?
The power rating of an electrical appliance represents the rate at which the appliance uses electrical energy. It is typically measured in watts and indicates how much electricity the appliance consumes when it is in use. Higher power ratings suggest that the appliance uses more energy.
What is the difference between using 100 watts for 2 hours or 50 watts for 4 hours?
Using 100 watts for 2 hours consumes a total of 200 watt-hours, while using 50 watts for 4 hours consumes the same 200 watt-hours. The difference lies in the power output over time: the 100-watt appliance will consume power more quickly compared to the 50-watt appliance, but they both consume the same total energy.
Is 1500 watts better then 800 watts?
It really depends on what you are needing. If this is for an air conditioner or ceramic heater, you may not need one that big. If this is for an outdoor light to light an entire yard, you may want the bigger wattage. ■
Which one has more power 10 watts or 12.5 watts?
More Watts equals more power. So once you have decided which is bigger, 10 or 12.5, that is the one with more power.

Can a 13a fuse be used in a plug that takes a 3a fuse?
No, a 13A fuse should not be used in a plug designed for a 3A fuse. The purpose of the fuse is to protect the appliance and wiring from overheating and potential fire hazards; using a higher-rated fuse can lead to the appliance drawing more current than it is designed for, potentially causing damage or safety risks. Always use the correct fuse rating specified for the appliance to ensure safe operation.
What does the power rating of an electrical appliance mean?
The power rating of an electrical appliance represents the rate at which the appliance uses electrical energy. It is typically measured in watts and indicates how much electricity the appliance consumes when it is in use. Higher power ratings suggest that the appliance uses more energy.
How much energy would you save if you turned off your appliances every night?
depends on the appliance and how much watts it need. i would assume alot of energy though. but even more energy if yolu unplug the appliance
What wire would you use for a receptacle in kitchen?
To answer this question more information is required, as to the appliance electrical consumption.
Can you use an appliance on a 110 volts when it requires 120 volts?
Some appliances, like air conditioners and clothes dryers require about twice as much electricity as most other devices, and require their own 220V supply of electricity. Your appliance will not work with only half the amount of electricity it needs. I recommend calling an electrician and having him install the appropriate plug.
Is it dangerous to run an appliance with more watts than the transformer?
A transformer has a rating that is usually expressed in KVA. This is approximately a wattage rating. It is not dangerous but it can be the cause of some concern. An appliance has a set current that is draws. This current times the voltage is the appliance's wattage. The same goes for the transformer. It only has a certain capacity to supply a specific current that is governed by its KVA (watts). Driving the transformer beyond its rated capacity tends to heat the transformer beyond its working temperature. If left in this over current draw the transformer's windings insulation will break down and the windings will short circuit. This is usually the end of a working transformer. So short answer, more watts (amps) from appliance equals burned out transformer.
Can you plug in up to 4400 watts appliance to a 20 amperes breaker?
A 20-amp supply can be used for a 4400 watt appliance provided the voltage is 220 v or more, and the appliance is designed for the same supply votage, and the power factor is 1. On a 240 v supply the power factor must exceed 0.92.
What is the difference between using 100 watts for 2 hours or 50 watts for 4 hours?
Using 100 watts for 2 hours consumes a total of 200 watt-hours, while using 50 watts for 4 hours consumes the same 200 watt-hours. The difference lies in the power output over time: the 100-watt appliance will consume power more quickly compared to the 50-watt appliance, but they both consume the same total energy.
Why would it be dangerous to replace a fuse with one a higher value?
The fuse would not "blow" when the critical power loading was reached. The power going into the appliance could exceed the safety level. At best this could damage the appliance - which will usually be more expensive than a fuse. At worst, it could lead to a short circuit and a fire which could destroy property and possibly kill!

How do you convert 2500kw to amps?
Watts = Amps x Volts x Power factor Hence, more information is required to answer your question.
