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.

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 an 8amp ceramic fuse with a 10 amp ceramic fuse?

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.


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

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.

You can replace a higher rating fuse with a lower rating provided it works with the device without constantly blowing. So try the 30 amp fuse in your lawnmower and if it doesn't blow and the mower works okay, you are fine. If it blows you will have to go back to 40.
