Size fuse for 12 AWG wire?
Use a 20 amp fuse or breaker.
Can 14 gauge wire carry 220 volt?
Wire guage is used as a measurement for the ampacity of the wire. # 14 wire is allowed 15 amp to be applied to it. Voltage is governed by the insulation factor of the wire. The three standard insulations are for 300V, 600V and 1000 volts.
Can a 30 amp fuse replace a 40 amp fuse on a lawnmower?
You can replace a higher rating fuse with a lower rating provided it works with the device without constantly blowing. So try the 30 amp fuse in your lawnmower and if it doesn't blow and the mower works okay, you are fine. If it blows you will have to go back to 40.
Can you replace a 15 amp fuse with a 30 amp fuse?
Sure, you can replace a 15 amp fuse with a 30 amp fuse, but it's not recommended. The 30 amp fuse has a higher current rating, which means it can allow more current to flow through the circuit than what it was designed for. This can pose a fire hazard and damage your electrical equipment. So, technically you can do it, but it's like putting a square peg in a round hole - it might fit, but it's not a good idea.
What gauge wire for a 2 amp in-line fuse?
Any wire size larger that a # 18 AWG can be fused at 2 amps.
