Any electrical engineer, electrician, fireman or anyone else who understands the function of a fuse will advise strongly that you NEVER replace a fuse with one of a higher amperage rating.
Fuses protect wires from overheating. The original fuse is matched to the capacity of the wires and other components of a circuit. When a properly matched fuse is replaced with a fuse of larger capacity you place your home, office, automobile or other property in jeopardy. The risk of a fire becomes very high when you use an over-sized fuse.
If you have any questions, consult with a competent electrician or electrical engineer.

Can a 25 amp fuse replace a 30 amp fuse in a central ac unit?
It is not recommended to replace a 30 amp fuse with a 25 amp fuse in a central AC unit. The fuse should match the specified amperage requirements to prevent damage or overheating of the unit. Using a lower amp fuse could potentially lead to electrical issues or failure of the AC unit.
Can you replace a 20 amp fuse in your car with a 25 amp due to the fuse keep blowing?
Yes you can but you are setting yourself up for a big problem. There is a reason the 20 amp fuse is blowing. By installing a bigger fuse it allows the current that is causing the 20 amp fuse to blow to stay in for a longer period of time. This can cause excessive heating and melting of the wires on the circuit that is blowing on a 20 amp fuse. Trace the wire and find the fault. Always use the manufacturer's recommended fuse sizing for your own protection.
What size fuse does a Waring 18BL93 blender use?

What size fuse does a model 4094 Oster blender use?
For the 400 watt max power motor, the stock fuse on the Oster, two speed, 4094 is 8amp 250v (not sure if it's a slow of fast burn). After recently blowing my fuse, ran down to Radio Shack and got a replacement. Upgraded the connection by buying a fuse holder and soldered the connections. Works perfectly.
How do you change from 15 amp fuse to 20 amp fuse?
The only way you can change a 15 amp to a 20 is you have to replace the 14 gauge wire going to it with a 12 gauge wire, then replace the 15 amp breaker with a 20 amp breaker. You can put a 15 amp outlet on a 20 amp circuit as long as there is more then one receptacle. A double receptacle counts as two receptacles. Steve Green Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

What value of fuse that can replace a blown 4A fuse?
You could replace it with a 3A fuse. You should never replace a fuse with one which is rated higher.
Can you replace a 10 amp fuse with a 20 amp fuse?
NO! Using a larger amp fuse defeats the purpose of the fuse to protect the wiring in the circuit. This can cause a fire. Always use the correct amp fuse for that circuit.
Can you replace a 20 amp fuse with a 10 amp fuse?
NO! Using a larger amp fuse defeats the purpose of the fuse to protect the wiring in the circuit. This can cause a fire. Always use the correct amp fuse for that circuit.
Can you replace a 15 amp fuse for fridge with a 20 amp fuse?

Can you replace a 5 amp fuse with a 10 amp fuse in your home's heating and AC unit?
No, you should not replace a 5 amp fuse with a 10 amp fuse in your heating and AC unit. The fuse is designed to protect the system from overcurrent; using a higher-rated fuse can allow excessive current to flow, potentially damaging the unit or causing a fire hazard. Always replace fuses with the correct amperage as specified by the manufacturer.
Can I replace a 10 amp fuse with a 20 amp fuse in the AC?
No, you cannot replace a 10-amp fuse with a 20-amp fuse. Fuses are meant to guard your wiring and equipment by melting or 'blowing' before the wiring, itself, melts and causes a fire. It is safe to use a smaller fuse than called for, but never, ever is it safe to use a larger fuse than called for.
What fuse do you replace for the horn?
