Plugs for appliances rated up to about 700 watts should have a 3 amp fuse, which is coloured red. Plugs for appliances rated between about 700 watts and 3000 watts – the maximum rating of a wall socket- should be fitted with a 13 amp fuse, which is coloured brown.
How do I know what size fuse to use?
First, you will need to determine the maximum fuse rating in amperages by applying this formula for calculation: P (Watts) ÷ V (Voltage) = I (Amps). Next, you will need to calculate the minimum fuse rating or amperage by multiplying that total (the maximum amperage rating) by 125%.
What fuse do I need?
The fuse is intended to protect the appliance. An appliance that’s rated up to 700 watts should be protected with a 3 amp fuse, whilst and appliance rated above 700 watts needs a 13 amp fuse.

If you replace it with a 13A fuse, it may work if cable and device are in OK condition. But the protection effect is gone. If the device or the cable are defect or short circuited or similar, there may be a fire hazard. I strongly recommend to not do this.
Can I replace A 5A fuse with A 7.5 A?
Can I replace a fuse with a higher amp? Fuses are designed to protect wiring. If you increase the fuse rating you risk causing damage to the wiring.
What size fuses does my car need?
To determine the type of blade fuses your vehicle uses, check your owner’s manual for a fuse box diagram. A fuse box diagram will show you what kind of fuse goes into each slot and the exact amperage to use. If you are unable to locate a fuse box diagram, consult with your local auto mechanic.
Can I use a 13 amp fuse instead of a 5?
The 5 amp fuse protects 5 amp rated wiring from overheating in a fault or overload condition and maybe causing a fire. Fitting a 13 amp fuse means that wire will catch fire if a fault or overload occurs. ALWAYS replace a fuse with the correct ( same) rating fuse.
