🔍 Key Concepts

• Overcurrent protection and why fuses blow in the first place • Difference between current rating (amps) and voltage rating (volts) on a fuse • Safety risks of using a fuse with the wrong current rating

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: if a fuse is blowing often, is that a sign to increase its current rating, or to inspect the circuit/load for a fault or overload? • What is the purpose of the fuse in terms of protecting wires and equipment from overheating or fire? • How does the fuse’s voltage rating relate to the maximum circuit voltage it can safely interrupt?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what manufacturers and regulations say about using only the specified current rating for replacement fuses. • Check whether it is ever considered safe practice to install a fuse with a higher current rating than recommended just because it keeps blowing. • Confirm that the fuse’s voltage rating must be at least as high as the system voltage, but that the key safety concern in this question is the current rating.
