The correct answer is; that depends entirely on the capacity of the circuit to which you will be connecting the fan.
If the circuit (including switches, circuit breakers, wire size) has sufficient available capacity, connecting the larger fan will not be a problem. Otherwise, it is possible that even such a small increase in power consumption can cause problems with the wiring... depending on the circuit.

SteveYes, you can typically replace a 0.16 amp fan with a 0.20 amp one as long as the voltage requirements are the same and the system can handle the slightly higher current draw. It's always best to check with the manufacturer or consult an electrician to ensure compatibility and safety.

Can you run a 16 amp machine on a 20 amp plug?
Yes, no problem whatsoever.
What is amp rating for 16 gauge wire?

What is the capacity in amperes 20 amp circuit breaker supplying a continuous load?
For a continuous load the circuit breaker is set 25% higher than the load current. So a 20-amp breaker is used with a continuous 16-amp load.
Can you put 4 ohms into 16?
Sure, If you mean your stereo has 4 ohm output and using 16 ohm speakers. The volume will be reduced somewhat by doing this, but it won't harm the stereo. If you have 4 ohm speakers and stereo is designed for 16 ohms you can do it ,but the amp will run hot and you may suffer damage at high volume to the amp.
What is the 16 gauge amp rating?
A 16-gauge wire typically has an amp rating of around 10-15 amps, depending on the type of insulation and wire composition. It is important to consult the manufacturer's specifications or a professional electrician to ensure safe and proper usage.
