Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use a higher amp fuse than recommended?
No. Using a fuse with a higher rating than required can result in overheating, fire risk, or appliance damage. Always use the correct rating for the device or circuit.

Q: How do I know which fuse I need?

Use a 3 Amp fuse for plug-connected appliances up to 700W.

Use a 5 Amp fuse in lighting circuits or as specified by the consumer unit label.

Q: Are these fuses reusable?
No. Once a fuse has blown, it must be replaced. Never attempt to repair or bypass a fuse.

Q: Are these fuses suitable for modern circuit breakers?
The 5 Amp cartridge fuses are suitable for older-style fuse boards. Modern installations typically use miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) or RCBOs, which function differently.

Q: How do I identify a blown fuse?
In plug fuses, look for a visible break in the internal wire or signs of burning. In cartridge fuses, use a multimeter to test continuity.
