Can you use a 20 amp fuse and wire rated for it in a 15 amp outlet?
You can use the wire rated for 20 amps on a 15 amp receptacle but you can not use a 20 amp fuse on any device rated at 15 amps. This is a tricky part of the code about receptacle outlets, You can use a 15 amp duplex outlet on a 20 amp circuit. (duplex outlet two devices can plug in) If it is a single outlet then the outlet must be rated 20 amp. NEC table210.21(B)(3). ============ A 15 amp duplex receptacle can be wired to a 20 amp rated circuit. This means the breaker OR fuse protecting the circuit can be rated 20 amps if the wire is also rated at 20 amps (12 AWG). --Sparkfighter

Can you use a 15 amp 110 outlet on a 20 amp circuit as I am replacing my old outlets with new duplex ones and realized that three of my Kitchen outlets are on one 20 amp breaker?
Yes, you can use lower amperage outlets - the problem would come if you were trying to run a 20 amp appliance on a 15 amp circuit or plug a 20 amp appliance into a 15 amp outlet. It would be better, though, as some kitchen appliances could exceed 15 amps (toaster ovens, some coffee makers, electric griddles, etc.) could try to draw more than the 15 amps your outlets are designed for. Perhaps you could get some 20 amp outlets and use those 15's in a hallway or something less likely to have high amperage draw.

What electrical wiring is required when fitting a new kitchen?
AWG 12/2 wire on a 20 amp breaker. There must be 2 kitchen outlet circuits and each circuit must be protected with a GFCI outlet. Each of these items must be on it's own dedicated 20 amp circuit. Garbage disposal, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator. This will require 6 dedicated 120 volt 20 amp circuits plus a 240 volt 60 amp circuit for the range.
How many 1000 watt 120 volt 8.3 amp lights can you plug into a standard household outlet?
Household circuits come in two flavors, 15 amp and 20 amp. Check the circuit breaker or fuse in your panel to see which one your outlet is wired to. If the outlet is on a 15 amp circuit, you could only run one, but if you have a 20 amp circuit, you could get away with two, assuming there are no other appliances plugged into the same circuit. The electrical code says circuits should be loaded to no more than 80% of the breaker's rating. for a 20 amp breaker, that works out to 16 amps. Your two lamps would draw 16.6 amps, so you would be right at the limit.
How much electricity in a standard outlet?
In North America 120 volts, in the UK and Europe 240 volts.
