Fuse 13amp but states 5amp

[ShaunCorbs]

The 3A ones are more expensive than the 13A ones .. I just buy packs of the other sizes of fuses as I need them

Anyone want a bag of 13A fuses?

So if I replace it for e.g. 5amp as it says in the manual it will be good and nothing bad can happen

5Amp fuse will be even safererer than a 13Amp fuse. Nothing to worry about.

Got to remember a fuse is also to prevent the wiring to the appliances from melting and also the small wires and components of appliances from melting or being destroyed by a dead short, plus avoiding the obvious fire or electrocution risks.

Yeah I don't think a lot of people realise if they use an overrated fuse, they are effectively turning the cable into the fuse, which is bad.

I carry 3 and 5 for the oil boilers. Very rare to find correct rated fuse in a spur. Customers boiler blew the 5 amp, he changed it with a 13 amp. Originally the transformer took out the 5 amp, but him adding the 13 amp added the control box onto the bill.
