It's the standard Type 'G' 3-pin plug used in the UK for electrical equipment and appliances. It should always contain a cartridge fuse of the right size to match the current or "amperage" drawn by the equipment/appliance it is supplying with power. Standard fuses to fit the plug are available in 13 amp, 5 amp, 3 amp and 1 amp sizes. For more information see the Related Link and the answer to the Related Question shown below.
It is a fuse that is rated in one thousandths of an amp. An example, a 500 mA fuse can also be called a 1/2 amp fuse.
7.2kW shower = 32 Amp fuse = 6 mm2 cable size7.5kW shower = 40 Amp fuse = 10 mm2 cable size8.5kW shower = 40 Amp fuse = 10 mm2 cable size9.5kW shower = 40/45 Amp fuse = 10 mm2 cable size10.5kW shower = 45 Amp fuse = 16mm2 cable size
20 amp on a 12 volt system
No. If you use a larger fuse you are not protecting the device which has a rating of a lesser value.
well it might give you a clue, i would suggest a 5 ampere fuse for that 5 amp plug
A 4-amp fuse.
In the UK, you cannot put a 5 amp fuse in a 3 amp plug. The general rule of thumb is that you should use like for like.
NO! Using a larger amp fuse defeats the purpose of the fuse to protect the wiring in the circuit. This can cause a fire. Always use the correct amp fuse for that circuit.

Fuse # 55- 25 amp.
Yes. You put a bigger fuse and you will melt the wire and cause a fire hazard.
In the YUK an electric kettle has a 13 amp fuse., together with a 250 voltage. However, in the USA the voltage is lower and so ther fuse amperage may be different.
No, you could overload the wiring and start a fire.
It can cause a fire. The circuit is protected by the 5 amp fuse. This fuse is protecting the wiring in the circuit from overheating and catching fire. Install a 10 amp fuse and the protection is lost. Very dangerous to substitute a larger fuse.
No, you should not replace a 13 amp fuse with a 15 amp fuse. Fuses are designed to protect electrical circuits from overloading, and using a higher amp fuse can pose a fire hazard. It is important to always replace a fuse with the correct amp rating recommended by the manufacturer.
The Horn uses the same fuse as the Cig lighter plug. It is a 15 amp fuse.
