What is the biggest amp fuse?
The largest fuse in this image is the glass AGU fuse which measures 11/2″ X 13/32″. These fuses are available in current ratings between 10 and 80 amps. AGU fuses can be used to protect the main power wire of small to moderately high power systems….
| Wire Gauge | Recommended Maximum Fuse Size |
|---|---|
| 16 awg | 7.5 amps |
Is higher amp fuse better?
If you replace a fuse with a higher amp one it will work but create an unsafe circuit. It could cause a failure of the device burn it up, start a fire. The fuse is designed as a safety device. It should not only be the correct amperage but also the correct voltage and fast or slow blow.
What are the different size fuses?
There are 4 main types of fuses: Micro, Mini (APM, ATM), Standard (APR, ATC, ATO), and Maxi (APX). Each fuse can be color coded with the appropriate amperage rating on top.
Can I use a bigger fuse in my car?
Never replace a blown fuse with a higher-amp fuse. Always replace the fuse with one with the specified amp rating. You may install the next-smaller-rated fuse to get you by in a pinch until you can purchase a replacement.
Is it OK to use a higher amp fuse in a car?
What happens if you put a bigger amp fuse?
If you use a fuse with the wrong amperage, the fuse won’t blow as intended, damaging the circuit and resulting in a much larger repair bill. Rather than risk blowing the circuit, take the car to a repair shop to determine what is causing the fuse to repeatedly blow.
What happens if I put a higher amp fuse?
Can I put a 30a fuse in a 20A?
Replacing a 20 amp fuse with a 30 amp fuse could cause wire conductors to overheat and catch fire if a load (or total electrical loads) greater than 20 amps are placed in that circuit. The wire conductors are able to safely handle the designed 20 amp loads but exceeding that limit is asking for trouble.
