I've never heard of a 16 amp fuse. -I guess it depends where you are. In North America, 15, 20 and 30 amp fuses are common, 40 are also used less commonly. A typical north American water heater uses 2 x 30 amp fuses or breakers.

How much can you load on a 15 amp fuse?
Fuses can last for 10 years or more because fuses don't really wear out unless perhaps they are run continuously right at the edge of blowing. The constant heat of near-high amperage (which is what blows the fuse anyway) will eventually cause it to trip at a lower amperage than when it was new. Water will corrode a fuse and cause it to blow and low voltage on a circuit feeding a motor will drive the amps up, causing a fuse to blow when it would have been ok at normal voltage (12.6-13.6 dcv). And corrosion on the fuse blades inhibits voltage.
How do you find out why a fuse keeps blowing out?
First check what's actually serviced by that fuse, maybe you've added something that wasn't there from the beginning, pushing the draw over the allowable limit. If that still looks OK, start by disconnecting the stuff hooked up to that fuse one by one, see if that can narrow things down. If that doesn't show anything, then you have to start inspecting the wiring itself for damages.
Can 600v wire works 30 amp fuse?
What size is the wire? AWG 10, 600V is rated for 30 amps. Any AWG less than 6 would also be ok for a 30 amp circuit....
What could be the problem with a Teledyne-Laars pool heater if the pilot light lights with no problem and the valve is ON but the burner will not start up?
On the inside of the heater cover, and within the documentation shipped with the heater, there should be a diagram of the control circuit. These heaters will not operate if the pump is off (pressure switch), if the "fireman" switch is off (a switch generally inside the pump timer that disables the heater about 15 minutes prior to turning off the pump), nor if both of two additional high temperature limit switches are activated (models will vary). The fact that the pilot is lit indicates that the pilot generator is OK. If you can turn the burner on by shorting the control circuit manually (using a jumper wire) the problem is in on of the safety limit switches, or in the thermostat itself. Good Hunting! http://www.poolcenter.com/parts_heaters_laars_xe_pg1.htm A pilot generator may have enough power to operate the pilot ,however not be sufficient to operate the main valve as well, this is quite common. The way I test a millivolt system of any type is I have a AA battery holder from RadioShack with a positive and negative lead, I disconnect the pilot generators 2 leads and replace them with the AA batterys. The battery is 1.5v it wont hurt though, but if the gas valve wont open and you do get voltage to the gas valve terminals for the main valve, the valve is either bad or stuck, an amp draw will tell you if its trying to work or shorted perhaps if excessive. There are a limit and on off and thermostat on this unit I believe as well .
What would happen if you didn't have a light bulb for a circuit?
it would be ok in a circuit which didn't need a light bulb.
Why don't your heater work?
There might be a bad fuse causing the heater to not work. Check the fuses if they are all ok you may have a bad blower motor. when you turn the heater on and no air is blowing then it is your blower motor.
What does the heater control valve do and can it prevent water flow to the heater core if it has gone bad on a 1994 B-2300?
Ok, I got the answer to this question. It seems that there is not a heater control valve in the heater hose line.
You turned your heater off in your 1991 chev silverado now it wont turn back on the fuse is ok what should you try?
Raise the hood find the heater motor tap it with a hammer. It should run.
How can you convert a water heater from natural gas to propane?
Due to possible liability you should never convert a water heater unless the manufacturer specifically has instructions that state that it is ok to do so.
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?
Your ac heater control shorted out could it be a relay the fuses are ok?
check the a/c clutch if wobbles it will short out system Another solution is check the owner's manual for the fuse box layout. It could be the AC fuse, or even the cigarette lighter fuse.
Why heater not blowing any hot air even though engine is warm?
the hot water from the engine does not enter the heater coil placed under the dust board of the car because the water valve controlling it is not being activated. Possible cause no supply of 12 volts or the coil of the valve is already burnt out. Have it check by a professional car aircon technician. But first look up for the fuse of said control possibly you've got only a blown fuse. Try to check the fuse using visual inspection and multitester. fuses are ok
My heater clock radio and windshield wipers do not work all of a sudden on my SL1 1997 saturn standard but car runs ok: what would cause this?
Blown fuse.
Replace heater core in 2002 Chevy truck 1500 series?
I have a 2002 Chevy SilerRado 1500 Pick up Truck, 2 wheel drive. My broblem is with the heater not coming on. I checked the fuse Box on the drivers side of the dash board label HTR/COOLING. The fuse was ok. I would like to know how to locate the Heater Core and replace it if possible. I haven't checked the thermostat. thanks in advance
Your corona kerosene heater says to use water white clear kerosene only but you can no longer find kerosene that is not dyed pink is the dyed kerosene ok to use?
yes its ok to run dyed kerosene in your heater i have been doing it for at least 2 years now with no problems.
Why would the fan control on any speed not blow air The heater blower motor is ok for a Honda Civic?
If you know the fan motor is good but it will not work, first check the fuse. If the fuse is good, then it is either the fan motor switch or the resistor pack that is defective.
How do you fix your horn?
if it is out check fuse if fuse is ok you will need to replace it.
