Consider the power consumption and Voltage of Air conditioner . Why you might ask because you can calculate likely current requirement. Power = Voltage x Current. So Current = Power / Voltage. Eg a 4800 Watt power on say a 240 Volt supply. Current calculation 4800/240 = 20 amps. As a rough guide what fuse rating is the fuse in the fuse box of the house for the AC power point. I would think 15 amp for lighting and between 20 Amp to 30 A for power.

Fuse Specifications

Suresh,
Most of the time you will need either a 15 amp or 20 amp fuse for your microwave. You will want a ceramic fuse and if you still have your old one, the amp rating and all info you need will be stamped on one of the silver collars at each end of the fuse. Hope this helps!

2000 Nissan Frontier Cigarette lighter not working while I use tire compresser using,

Tire compressor probably draws too much current for the socket. Are you sure it is a cigarette lighter socket? Some sockets are just to provide accessories 12v. Did a cigarette lighter come with this socket? True cigarette lighter sockets are generally fused at 25 or 30 Amps

System not working when switched on.Observed 3 amp fuse blown. Replaced with 13 amp fuse and switched to manual. Sparks and noise coming from one motor. ? brushes or motor need replacing.

Fuses blow for a reason. It's never a good idea to replace a fuse with a higher amp one. House fires can easily be started this way.
As for the motor, at this point the whole motor will need replaced.

Hello i just bought a power acoustik cpt1-4000d amplifier and we and a friend of mine were hooking it up and he accidently blew the 4 30 amp fuses in the amp. so we replaced them with 4 40 amp fuses and...

You shouldn't have replaced 30 amp fuses with 40 amp fuses. The 30 amp fuses were in there for a reason. You'll probably find that if you put the correct sized fuses in then it will work. If it doesn't then you have burnt out or melted something and it will need repairing.

Viking Microwave Model VMOC205SS little over 4

9 amps is approx. correct. Does magnatron make an odd sound when running? If not, you will need to discharge cap then clean terminals with alcahol. Replace diode as well. Should run correctly.If blows again, replace magnatron. Suggest you put a 12 amp fast blow fuse in circuit and nor a 20 fuse.If you dont have a grill or an oven, use a 10 amp fuse.

Amp overheated

Yes, try replacing the fuses first. If that doesn't work, then I'm sorry to say that you most likely fried your amp.

Plug amp

Yes it should be safe to use a 13 amp fuse.

The convention with fuses is up to 720 watts a 3 amp fuse should be used and above 720 watts a 13 amp fuse should be used.

To be precise you need to know the exact wattage of the kettle.
Sometimes maufacturers will fit 5 amp fuses but these are only good for a power rating of 1200 watts maximum (at 240 volts).

So as your kettle is rated at more than 1200 watts it needs a 13 amp fuse.

Hope this is a FixYa.
