The device will work, but the 3A fuse will blow quicker than the 5A would have.

What value of fuse that can replace a blown 4A fuse?

You could replace it with a 3A fuse. You should never replace a fuse with one which is rated higher.


What would happen if you put a 3A fuse in for kettle which is 13A?

The fuse will blow as soon as you turn it on. Use the correct fuse and nothing else.


Can you use a 250v 3a fuse to replace a 250v 3.15 fuse?

No


Can a 3a 125 v fuse be replaced with a 3a 250v fuse?

Yes, a 3A 250V fuse can replace a 3A 125V fuse, as the voltage rating of the replacement fuse is higher than that of the original. The critical factor is that the current rating (3A) remains the same, ensuring it will blow under the same overload conditions. However, it's essential to ensure that the device or circuit is designed to operate safely within these ratings. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for fuse replacement to maintain safety and functionality.


Can you use a 250v 3a fuse to replace a 125v 3a fuse for equipment voltage is 100volt?

Yes, fuses of a higher voltage can be used safely. What is not recommended is to use a lower voltage fuse on higher voltages.


What is the recommended amperage for a fuse to be used with a device that requires a 2.5A fuse?

The recommended amperage for a fuse to be used with a device that requires a 2.5A fuse is 3A.


What do you think would happen if you put a 3A fuse in a plug used for kettle?

I know what would happen. The three amp fuse would blow. Any device that is plugged into a receptacle with out having sufficient resistance to limit the current flow will dead short the circuit and cause the breaker that feeds the circuit to trip. In this case the fuse being of a lower rating that the feed breaker the fuse will blow without tripping the receptacle's feed breaker.


Can you fit a 13 amp fuse with a 3 amp fuse?

If you do that the likelihood is that you will blow the 3A fuse quickly. There is a reason why the current fuse is what it is, because it is expecting currents around 80% of 13 A or around 10 A.


Can a 13a fuse be used in a plug that takes a 3a fuse?

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.


What is the normal fuse for 60W lamp?

For a 60W lamp, a normal fuse rating would be around 3A. This is calculated using the formula P = V x I, where P is power, V is voltage, and I is current. So for a 60W lamp on a 120V circuit, you would use a 3A fuse to safely handle the power load.


What is 3a² 3a²?

3a^2 + 3a^2 = 6a^2 3a^2 - 3a^2 = 0 3a^2 x 3a^2 = 9a^4 3a^2 divided by 3a^2 = 1


What minimum fuse rating is needed for a 12volt curcuit with a 36 watt bulb?

To calculate the minimum fuse rating needed for a 36W bulb on a 12V circuit, divide the wattage by the voltage (36W / 12V = 3A). Therefore, a minimum 3A fuse would be sufficient for a 36W bulb on a 12V circuit.
