What is the recommended amperage for a fuse to use with a device that requires a 2.5 amp fuse?
The recommended amperage for a fuse to use with a device that requires a 2.5 amp fuse is 3 amps.
It is ok to use a fuse with a higher amperage rating and not ok to use a fuse with a smaller amperage rating why?
It is ok to use a fuse with a higher amperage rating and not ok to use a fuse with a smaller amperage rating why?
What is the amperage of a t2l 250v fuse?
Darling, the amperage of a fuse isn't determined by its voltage rating. You need to check the markings on the fuse itself to find out its amperage. Don't go playing guessing games with electricity, honey. Stay safe and read the labels.
Will a fuse of a higher amperage rating have a higher melting point link?
No, a fuse of a higher amperage rating will not usually have a higher melting point link. The higher amperage fuse will use a wider link or a link of larger diameter.
How do you measure amperage across fuse?
Technically, you don't measure amperage ACROSS a fuse, you measure current THROUGH a fuse, and the units of measure are amperage. If you want to measure the current though a fuse on a single device, say a TV, or computer, you can use a multi-meter. You will need to 'redirect' all the current so it goes through the multi-meter. ie: ----|fuse|---|device|--- would be rewired to be: ----|fuse|-----|black probe|---|multi-meter|---|red probe|-----|device|------ If you want to measure the current through a larger fuse, like the main fuse in your house, you'll need a current clamp. This is a clamp that you can put on ONE of the incoming power wires. It measures the magnetic field generated by the current. This is the much easier way since you don't have to do any re-wiring to redirect the current, but costs more money. ----|fuse|---@@---|device|--- [the @@ is the current clamp, note that it doesn't matter where the current clamp is placed, so long as it's only around ONE wire] Whatever you do, be careful, electricity is dangerous.
What is the maximum amperage capacity of a 30 amp fuse box?
The maximum amperage capacity of a 30 amp fuse box is 30 amps.
Why must use 5A fuse when maximum current is 4.33A?
Generally speaking, you need to account for any variance in electrical output. There are a lot of factors that can cause a fluctuation in electrical amperage. You wouldn't want to set the fuse too low or it would blow needlessly, but you also don't want to set the fuse too high, or a dangerous short will not be interrupted. A power source/device can produce/draw more amperage while damaged than in normal operation. A 4.33 amp device might not run at 5 amp while working, but while damaged could exceed that dramatically. When looking at the reason for having a fuse, it provides two things: 1) help protect a working device from having too much amperage forced into it from a damaged power source 2) help protect the power source from having too much amperage draw from it by a damaged device.
What would happen if a 13a fuse is put in a tv?
A fuse is a circuit safety device. Asking this question must mean that the fuse has blown. It has blown for a reason. The reason has to be found before a new fuse is installed. If the reason has been found and corrected then the fuse that the manufacturer recommended should be re installed. It is your option to use a larger fuse that what is recommended. On a fault condition by not limiting the current to a certain amperage there is the chance that more damage to that circuit's components will occur and irreparable damage to the TV could make it useless.
Can you use a 15 amp fuse instead of a 10 amp fuse for your car gauges?
It is not recommended to use a higher amp fuse than what is specified for your car. Using a 15 amp fuse instead of a 10 amp fuse can lead to electrical issues or damage to your car's gauges. Stick to the manufacturer's recommended fuse rating.
Why cant an electric fuse be replaced by electric wire?
Because then it wouldn't 'blow' at the prescribed amperage. -A fuse is made with very fine tolerance wire to melt at an EXACT amperage.
An advantage of a fuse?
A fuse is replaceable and comes in many different amperage ratings and iterupt types.
Where is abs fuse?
ABS fuse is located in the engine compartments fuse block, the owners manual ussually lets you know where the fuse is and the amperage.
