How many 5 amp TVs can be plugged into a open circuit?
You can plug in as many as you want but none of them will work. An "open" circuit is an electrical circuit which is not a complete circuit and therefore electricity will not flow through it. If you mean an unused circuit,which has no load on it, then the answer is 2 ea. 5 amp devices on a 15 amp circuit and 3 ea. 5 amp devices on a 20 amp circuit. The reason for this is that any circuit is not to be "loaded" more than 80% of the OCPD (circuit breaker amperage rating.
Can you use 15 amp appliance on 20 amp socket?
Yes, the amp rating is a measurement of the highest amp load it should carry. So a 15 amp appliance will work on a 20 amp socket but you wouldn't want to use a 20 amp appliance on a 15 amp socket.
What size of wire do you need for 5 kw heat strip?
120 15 amp service ? 210 7 amp service ?
Can you replace 1 amp fuse with a 5 amp fuse?
No, the one amp fuse is the recommendation of the manufacturer of the circuit. By replacing it with a fuse five times larger will default the warranty placed on the equipment by the manufacturer. Where one amp will do no damage to the circuit, five amps could destroy the components that are connected in the circuit.
If you have a machine that draws 5 amps can it be used on a 30 amp circuit?
Yes
What size fuses are used in a 1970 Camaro?
5 amp,10 amp, 15 amp, 20 amp, 25 amp, and 30 amp.
How does the electric distribution panel work?
It's basically a system of circuits. The power from the mains enters through the input terminals. It's then split into various load circuits (5 amp for lighting, 13 amp for sockets , 15 amp for the immersion heater & 30 amp for cookers). Each of these circuits has it's own circuit breaker, which cuts the power to that particular circuit if the current draw exceeds the rating of the breaker.
How is low voltage circuit normally protected?
If it is then it has a 3 or 5 amp fuse. Some are not.
How are fuses measured?
In how many amps of current before blowing out. 2 amp 5 amp 10 amp 15 amp etc.
What effect can be experienced by placing a 15 amp fuse in a fuse slot rated for 5 amps in an electrical circuit?
In a fault condition there would be a three fold quantity of the current on a circuit that was designed for a maximum of 5 amps. In electronic circuitry this could destroy the equipment. Also a fire is a possibility.
What is difference between 5 amp and 15 amp plug points?
Current carrying capacity is different.
What is the difference in a 5 amp fuse and 6 amp fuse?
A 5-amp fuse is designed to fail if more than 5 amps goes through it. A 6-amp fuse does likewise with more than 6 amps. Therefore, if you replace a 5-amp fuse with a 6-amp, you might be leaving components vulnerable to damage and wiring vulnerable to overheating, which could start a fire. If you replace a 6-amp with a 5-amp, the fuse will burn out if the circuit is drawing between 5 and 6 amps.
