Can I safely put a larger fuse in this in order to use it with a 750w space heater?

Only if you rip off the label on the space heater that very specifically says "DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS PRODUCT." Those pesky labels are dangerous and can catch fire easily.

Your wire and the fuse size depends on the load (amps) you will be pulling through it. It you have a lot pluged in on the circuit. You need to use the larger wire and fuse. Look up appliance amp list to estimate how much you will be using and use a fuse that will carry that many amps.

This is because many space heaters, including this one, can run up to 1500 Watts. This means that the space heater needs a dedicated circuit all to itself when in use because of this large draw. This means that if you plug this space heater into a wall and then plug in say a vacuum in the same plug or different socket on the same wall, you may very well trip the breaker. Remember, when a breaker is tripped it is a safety function ment to prevent damage to your electrical system. If you find that you are tripping your breakers consistently, you may want to get a schematic of the wiring in your house so you know what plugs are on the same circuit and what ones are separate circuits. This heater will most certainly trip a breaker if you use another device that creates enough draw on the same circuit. However, if you can figure a way to use it on it's own circuit, this heater is very very good. You can always run a medium duty extension cord from another room so that your heater is plugged in away from the room it resides in. Definitely have an electrician check your system and maybe update it a bit.

I'd suggest a circuit with a 20amp minimum. Preferably 25-30amp. Theses heaters draw a lot of power. (And no, its not a good idea to put a 25-30amp fuse in what was intended to be a 15amp circuit. The wiring is a smaller gauge and can't handle the current)

Make certain that your circuit breaker has adequate amp to operate the heater

sure can,after all it's a fluke.Be sure to set the meter on "A" and set on direct current/Be sure to set on the highest setting as if you set it to low you will blow the internal fuse.Good luck pal.

Yes, it has an owners manual and it says 10 gauge minimum for the wire and the proper size fuse/breaker. This heater can be set to run at different btu's and the wire/breaker depends upon what you want to run it at. I found some guidance via google that with the 7500 watt setting the code says 8 gauge wire and 40 amp breaker (double for 240v), that is what I used and it works fine. No plug, this is intended as a direct wire installation. Disclaimer - I am not an electrician and with voltages like this it is usually a good idea to consult one if you don't know the answers to these questions.

The cables in most PCs are standardized. I'm fairly positive this cable will extend other cables of its type, which should be included with your 750W PSU. I personally use mine in a computer that has an 850W PSU, so if you're worried about putting too much power through it, I don't think you need to worry.

This won't be thick enough. You might need 4 gauge. I only have a 1000 watt amp and my gauge fuse blows all the time

Just continuing to replace fuses does not sound like the right solution. If you are using an appliance requiring more than 130W you likely need to upgrade to a bigger transformer.

The instructions don't say you should, I never have in 20 years of use. Some I know have used a 30 amp fuse. To be safe you probably should. One of those things I am to do but never do.

You can if it's a very heavy duty extension cord. The typical extension cords can handle the load of the heater and tend to over heat which could lead to a fire.

I have used the 100 - 200 amp fuses with no problem I would think all the fuses would work for the design the holder is fairly big to make accomidations for different sizes

Sure, just be sure that you're not daisy-chaining the timer from another power strip or something similar. Also be sure the space heater has some kind of tipover switch so if something happens when it's unattended you don't burn down your home.

If it is wired properly you should only need a 10amp fuse. If there is too many items on the supply line then it may blow fuse. It should be listed in the instructions what the max fuse size is

Yes it is possible, but wouldn't recommend going over the rated fuse. The fuse is sized tokeep the wires from melting, burning, causing fires.

Shouldn't be a problem so long as you don't exceed the maximum wattage the unit can support
