Fuses or breakers are used to protect the conductor to the load. A #14 wire conductor is rated for 15 amps. Most home circuitry is done with #14 wire. The minimum size breaker in an electrical panel is 15 amp so it looks like a 15 amp fuse or breaker can be used for a 100 watt light bulb.

What minimum fuse rating is needed for a 12volt curcuit with a 36 watt bulb?
To calculate the minimum fuse rating needed for a 36W bulb on a 12V circuit, divide the wattage by the voltage (36W / 12V = 3A). Therefore, a minimum 3A fuse would be sufficient for a 36W bulb on a 12V circuit.
What size fuse for a 200 watt amp?
To determine the fuse size for a 200 watt amp, you will need to divide the power rating by the voltage of the system. If the amp operates on a 12V system, the amperage would be around 16.67A, so a 20A fuse would be appropriate for a 200 watt amp.
Can you use a 250 watt bulb with a 15 amp switch?
Yes, you can use a 250 watt bulb with a 15 amp switch. The switch is rated for up to 15 amps, which is more than enough to handle the power of a 250 watt bulb. Just make sure that the wiring and other components in the circuit can also handle the load.
How many amps would a 150 watt bulb draw in a 120v circuit?
1 amp
How many 60 watt bulbs can a 15 amp handle?
A 15 amp circuit can handle approximately 8-10 60 watt bulbs. Each 60 watt bulb draws 0.5 amps of current, so you divide the circuit's amp rating (15 amps) by the current draw per bulb (0.5 amps) to get the approximate number of bulbs it can handle.

Will a 5000 watt amp wiring kit work well on a 1600 watt amp?
Yes I do not see why not as long as the in line fuse does not exceed the power the amp is pulling. You want the fuse to blow instead of the amp so you need a fuse that can only handle 1600 watts or the equivalent to....
Can 150 volt amp output handle a 100 watt bulb?
Yes it can provided the volotage is right, because for a bulb the volt-amps are equal to the watts - if it is an incandesent bulb. For a fluoresecent bulb the power-factor must be better than 100/150 or 0.67.
Can you run a 100 watt bulb with low voltage cables?
The cable voltage is set by the voltage of the supply and not by what is connected to it. But a 100 watt amplifier on a 120 v supply would draw less than 1 amp even at high volume.
How much electricity a light bulb uses?
That depends on the type of bulb AND on it's power usage. An old incandescent bulb of 100 watts uses about an amp, a 60 watt uses about a half amp. But a florescent bulb putting out the same light would consume about half the current, and a LED bulb would use less than half that.
How do you replace the 120 amp fuse for Nissan Xterra?
You don't it is a 100 amp fuse.
Can you use a 250 watt bulb with a 15 amp switch?
Yes, you can use a 250 watt bulb with a 15 amp switch. The switch is rated for up to 15 amps, which is more than enough to handle the power of a 250 watt bulb. Just make sure that the wiring and other components in the circuit can also handle the load.
Will a 120 volt circuit carrying a 2200 watt load blow a 15 amp fuse?
It will draw over 18 amps and will blow a 15 amp fuse.
Can you drive a Toyota with the 100 amp fuse blown?
Depends on what that fuse protects. Highly unlikely you can drive this car with a 100 amp fuse missing but possible.
What is the current of a 60 watt bulb connetcted to a 120 V power source?
.5 amp
How many amps does a 5 watt 12 volt bulb draw?
To calculate the amperage, you can use Ohm's Law formula: Amperage (A) = Power (W) / Voltage (V). In this case, for a 5 watt bulb at 12 volts, the amperage drawn would be 0.42 amps (5W / 12V = 0.42A).
How many amps would a 150 watt bulb draw in a 120v circuit?
1 amp
