As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB
SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY
REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
First you need to read the manufactures mane plate to find out the amperage of the appliance. Then you need to runs run a wire size to that amperage to a breaker that matches the manufactures specifications. Finally you will need a plug and outlet that that has a NEMA number that corresponds with the amperage and voltage of your appliance.
Assuming the wiring is sized for 12 amps, you can replace your fuse with any 12 amp fuse or smaller and with a voltage rating at or above what you expect to connect to it. The amp rating protects the wire, so you cannot go above what the wire can handle. The voltage rating is the max voltage that it can safely protect, so you cannot use a fuse with a lower voltage rating than you expect to connect to.
I found it was a Yellow 20 Amp fuse (Fuse 56) on the Fuse board. This can be found by opening the glove box, and squeezing inwards the sides, this then drops down to reveal the fuse board. NB this was for my Transit Connect 2003.
Yes. Circuit Breakers.
Yes, fuses of a higher voltage can be used safely. What is not recommended is to use a lower voltage fuse on higher voltages.
You're scaring me! Get an electrician!
The voltage is correct, BUT, Your welder is going to draw more current than the pool pump did. The breaker, wiring, and the receptacle will have to be upgraded. In my opinion I have never seen a "temporary" connection!! ...pkazsr

To protect the wiring within a circuit from overheating and possibly causing a fire. When more current flows through the circuit than it is safely able to carry the fuse will blow. Assuming the correct amp fuse is used in the circuit. It will also blow if there is a short in the wiring. It is very important to always use the correct fuse.
The fuse is just after the fire wall on the righ hand side from where the engine and interior harnesses connect. Its a dark blue wire and rigth from the firewall to about 1ft, you should find the fuse within that distance. It is encapsulated in black rubber. I had to strip all of the wiring to figure out the wiring in the engine bay, because it looked like for my car there was abit more of a wiring issue. The fuse will be a small 1/4 in length and be...i think 4amps( i think)
You can find a Chevrolet S10 fuse block wiring diagram in the back of the owners manual. You can also find the fuse block wiring diagram at most Chevrolet dealerships.
Yes. Bad wiring can make any fuse blow
if the bulbs are not bad, it is the fuse, if the fuse is good, its the wiring.
need a diagram for 2001 Lincoln Town Car for wiring from the fuse box to the fender
The Ford F2 50 trailer wiring fuse will be one of the auxiliary fuses in the fuse box. The auxiliary fuses will be the last four fuses in the second column.
NO! The circuit wiring is protected by that 3.15 amp fuse. Put a 5 amp fuse in the circuit and the wiring may overheat and cause a fire. Never over-fuse any circuit even in an emergency.
Blown fuse, defective relay, loose or corroded wiring.Blown fuse, defective relay, loose or corroded wiring.
Has to be a short in the wiring or where the wiring is connected.
