If you use a 30 amp fuse for a 15 amp slot,What if any damage will result?

You will not be providing the protection the circuit needs therefore...burnt circuit/device.

I installed it with the feeling that it was a total 30 amp not 30 per circuit. I use the logic that a home fuse panel or circuit breaker panel is rated at its overall highest amperage draw rating:, not the individual circuits.

Be careful, it does matter for 120VAC! As with the first contributor, the larger slot is the neutral pole (white), smaller slot is line (black), and the rounded hole is the ground (green). Wiring this incorrectly will either blow a fuse or could subject you to electric shock.

I think that the fuse is a safety feature, and is not really intended to be replaced. I would think that if it shorted out badly enough to blow the fuse, that it was damaged and unsafe to use.

You still should be able to use this, just put it into a 15A outley and then a 15A fuse in the holder. I used it to power a lighter I installed. I put the fuse adapter in a 15A fuse spot, ran the wire then inserted the fuse. It worked fine. Just make sure you have the right type of fuse tap.

My whole housing melted connected to 15A circuit so I never got the chance to replace it. If it is not a must need return it for something that expressly states the Amps you need on the housing.

You can look it up online or in your manual. It looks like it's 15 amp. Also it would be good to check if there are many functions powered by the same fuse because that could cause issues.

I would think that APC might prevent it, as it controls the amount of amperage/electricity going to your sub. On the other hand if you sub has any internal issues it might blow the fuse as well. Did any other items get damaged or blown at the same time, if not then I would think your APC is ok and your sub is the issue.. Call APC 1-800 tech advice and pose the ?

I'm using the socket for charging my iPhone and/or GoPro in my kayak and haven't had any issues using a 5 amp fuse. I want my fuse to blow before any damage to my equipment. If I blow a 5 amp fuse, I may try a 7.5 amp to see if it'll keep up with the load.

Absolutely not, you will blow the fuses in it. Each channel has a 5 amp limit (600 watts @ 120 volts) and the pack has a 15 amp total limit.

It blew a fuse in my car at an end on inflating a first tire. I was adding 7psi. this was 30A fuse (2 sockets on this circuit). I returned it because of this event. I didn't want to experiment whether it was a single event or failure of this one inflator, or typical over-current.

It may blow the fuse. Check the input amps and then check the fuse size. Output watts are different than input

Check the capacity of the circuit you have it plugged into. This needs to be on a 20A circuit as it will draw up to 17A, depending on your power supply. That is, BY ITSELF on a 20A circuit.The MINIMUM current draw will be 15A and that is already too much for a 15A circuit, you will likely blow the circuit. If it doesn't blow the circuit as soon as you plug it into a 15A circuit (and turn it on), there is something wrong with your wiring.

Sure! As long as the total amperage drawn by the lights does not exceed 30 amps, which is what the fuse is rated at. Hope this helps!

You must use the same fuse rated for that slot, (10,15,20) the second slot use a lower Amperage (5, 7.5). Put it like this, I have a Bel STi-R plus, 2 escort lives connected, and ALP dual, on three sets of 10A and 5A. They are all running at optimal power. Remember, the slot where the blades are is the spot with the fuse you pulled from your panel. The second slot acts as a safety for your devices that your tapping. Don't go crazy with that slot because if a surge happens you can fry your things. Like I stated above 5 or 7.5 is sufficient enough, even with all of my things, I never went over 5A.

If you have anything else on that 15 amp circuit, it could trip the breaker. I always plug mine into a dedicated 20 amp circuit, so if you don't have one I would go with the 13.5 model.

I had 2 sets connected to a cigarette plug in my truck which had to a 15 amp fuse with no issue
