Yes, a 1500-watt kettle should work nicely on a 15-A plug at 120 volts, provided there are no other large loads on the same branch at the same time. The 15-A branch will support up to 1800 watts, but only until the breaker trips.

What amp plug should a vacuum have?
Generally, a 15 amp plug.
Can you plug a 15a 250v ac into a 30a 250v plug?
No, the amperage pin configurations are different between a 15 amp and a 30 amp plug.
What is a 15 amp hookup?
A plug and play 15v amp circuit is one that you can simply plug in. It has a three pronged plug so no special wiring is needed.
Is it ok to make a short extension cable with a 30 amp 240volt plug that goes to the wall outlet and the other end receives a 15 amp 240 volt plug from a table saw?
Yes is ok as long as you increase the size of the plug .I use dryer plugs( 30 amp )all the time on equipment that came with smaller plugs (20 amp).
Can you use a 20 amp fuse and wire rated for it in a 15 amp outlet?
You can use the wire rated for 20 amps on a 15 amp receptacle but you can not use a 20 amp fuse on any device rated at 15 amps. This is a tricky part of the code about receptacle outlets, You can use a 15 amp duplex outlet on a 20 amp circuit. (duplex outlet two devices can plug in) If it is a single outlet then the outlet must be rated 20 amp. NEC table210.21(B)(3). ============ A 15 amp duplex receptacle can be wired to a 20 amp rated circuit. This means the breaker OR fuse protecting the circuit can be rated 20 amps if the wire is also rated at 20 amps (12 AWG). --Sparkfighter

What is difference between 5 amp and 15 amp plug points?
Current carrying capacity is different.
What power amp will you need to run 8 new plug sockets?
15 amp will run 8 outlets unless they are going to be heavily loaded. In that case use 20 amps.

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.
Can you use a 250v 15 amp fuse for a 125v 15 amp?
Use the correct fuse and nothing else.
Can you run a 20 amp machine on a 15 amp plug?
A 15 amp receptacle is protected by a 15 amp breaker. The 15 amp breaker will trip on any current over 15 amps. So if the 20 amp machine draws a full 20 amps, then the answer is no. Due to some operations of machines they will not draw the full nameplate amperage until they reach a certain point in there cycling. The machine may run at the start but when it reaches that point it could trip the breaker. If the machine is not hardwired but plugged in, you could not run a 20 amp machine on a 15 amp receptacle, due to the different pin configurations on the plug cap.
Can you change a 13 amp fuse for a 15 amp?
I have never seen a 13 amp rated plug, it is not defined in the National Electric Code, are you sure this is what you have?However, the NEC does allow both 15 and 20 amp receptacles that are being fed from a 20 amp circuit breaker.AnswerA fused 13-A plug is the standard electrical plug used in the UK, Ireland, and many other parts of the world that use 230/240 V supplies. It is incompatible with the now-obsolete, 15-A plug (except in theatrical lighting setups) which uses a different pin shape and is unfused.
