yes u can by changing the fuse

A more intelligent answerNo! NEVER use a fuse of larger current capacity than the circuit was designed to safely handle. The answer given above will result in a serious risk of fire. A circuit that was designed for 15 amps will overheat if you do as suggested above. Contact a licensed electrician to make the necessary changes to your electrical system so that you can use the larger microwave.

No, it is not safe to use a 20 amp microwave in a 15 amp home. The circuit in the home is designed to handle up to 15 amps, so using a higher amp appliance can overload the circuit and potentially cause a fire hazard. It is best to use appliances that match the electrical capacity of the home.
