A fuse is specifically rated to a certain amount of power. When this is exceeded the fuse 'melts' and will not allow the power limit to be over extended.
A nail will allow the appliance to work but offers no protection.
If the fuse rating is less than the current an appliance needs, the fuse will likely blow or burn out. This is because the fuse is designed to protect the appliance from overheating or catching fire by interrupting the circuit when the current exceeds the fuse rating. It is important to always use a fuse with a rating that matches the current requirements of the appliance.
Yes you can do that as long as it will fit in the fuseholder. It is acceptable to replace a lower Voltage Rated fuse with a higher but NEVER replace a higher with a lower. There are several things to consider when replacing a fuse: 1) The minimum voltage rating of the fuse is equal to or higher than the voltage of the circuit you are placing it in 2) The Amperage rating of the fuse does not exceed the capacity of the circuit you are trying to protect. Always replace a fuse with one that has the same amperage rating. 3) The interrupting rating of the fuse is sufficent for the capacity of the circuit supplying the fuse. If replacing a fuse always use one with an interrupting capacity equal to or greater than the fuse you are replacing.
No, you should not use a 32V 15A fuse in an appliance that requires a 125V 15A fuse. The voltage rating of the fuse is important for safety, and using a lower voltage fuse can result in the fuse not providing adequate protection and potentially causing a safety hazard. Always use the recommended fuse rating for your appliance.
A 13 amp fuse is recommended for an appliance rated at 1hp. This will provide sufficient protection for the appliance and its components in case of a power surge or electrical fault.

No, as soon as you turn on the appliance the wire inside the fuse will melt as there will be too muck current flowing through it

A fuse link will melt and interrupt the flow of current to the appliance before it can get high enough to damage the appliance or wiring.

They are a safety feature in the case of an energy surge - without the fuse damage could be dome to the appliance, with the fuse if their is a surge of electricity it burns out the fuse so can't travel all the way to the appliance damaging it.
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!

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.
The replaceable electrical safety link in a domestic plug is the fuse. The fuse is designed to break the circuit if there is a power surge or a fault in the appliance, protecting both the appliance and the user from potential electrical hazards. It is important to replace a blown fuse with one of the same rating to maintain safety.
took me a week to find the problem . under the hood take out the radio fuse and replace it ( even if it looks good )
