Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How do I know if I need a 13A fuse?
A: Any appliance drawing between 700W and 3000W of power typically requires a 13-amp fuse. Always check the manufacturer’s label on your appliance to confirm the correct fuse rating.
Q: Can I use this fuse in a plug that currently has a lower amp fuse?
A: No. Replacing a lower-rated fuse (e.g., 3A or 5A) with a 13A fuse can be dangerous and may compromise safety. Only use 13A fuses in devices designed to handle higher current loads.
Q: Are Securpak fuses reusable?
A: No. Once a fuse blows, it cannot be reused and must be replaced with a new one of the same rating.
Q: How can I tell if the fuse has blown?
A: A visual inspection might reveal a broken internal wire or blackening inside the fuse casing. However, using a multimeter is the most accurate way to test continuity.
Q: Do these fuses fit any UK plug?
A: Yes, these fuses are designed for standard UK 3-pin plugs conforming to BS1363.
