What amp plug should a vacuum have?

A vacuum typically requires an amp plug with a rating of 10-12 amps for standard household use. Be sure to check the manufacturer's specifications for the specific power requirements of your vacuum cleaner.


Can you change an European 15 amp plug to 10amp plug?

What is the Process of Wiring If the device draws 15 amps (I thought Euro plugs were 16 amps or 6 amps, but no matter), you should not attempt to run it on a 10 amp supply. If the device needs less than 10 amps you could change the plug. Do please check that the smaller plug is 10 amps, not 6 amps. If you are trying to run a European device in the USA, the VOLTAGE is different (230 in Europe, 110 in USA) so the device won't run well. Don't even think of using an American device in Europe - there will be a big, expensive bang! (I know, I have seen the result).


What kind of plug do you need for a 220 30 amp service?

Can you put a 50 amp beaker in a 60 amp panel?

No, it is not safe to put a 50 amp breaker in a 60 amp panel. Breakers need to be sized to match the panel's capacity to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. It is important to always use breakers that are compatible with the panel's amperage rating.


Can a 15 amp extension cord be plugged into a 20 amp breaker?

It is not recommended to plug a 15 amp extension cord into a 20 amp breaker because the extension cord may overheat and pose a fire hazard. It is safer to use a cord that matches the amp rating of the breaker to prevent potential electrical issues.

Can you put a 10 amp fuse in a 20 amp fuse slot?

If it is the right size, then yes. But why would you want to do that? if the slot is meant for a 20 amp fuse then most likely there will be more than 10 amps running through it and it will blow almost imediately


Is it ok to replace a 95 amp alternator with a 130 amp in a 1994 ford explorer sport and what is the difference between them?

Replacing a lower amp generator with a higher one won't hurt. The 130 amp generator doesn't put out 130 amps, it is just capable of generating more amps if called on to do so by the system. For example, if your explorer only uses 10 amps, then the 130 amp generator will only put out 10 amps.
