What happens if I put a 13Amp fuse in a 10Amp plug?

Question

I just bought a new computer monitor and it seems to keep blowing its 10 amp fuse. I went out to buy a new fuse but got a 13 amp. What will happen if I use the 13 amp fuse and why would the monitor keep blowing its 10 amp fuse????

Answer 1

1. NEVER put a fuse in that is larger than what is specified..NEVER.

2. Agree with above, a computer monitor does not draw that much power by itself.

Is there anything else plugged into this circuit?

Answer 2

get this checked out it doesn't sound right it could cause a fire. That's what fuses are for.

Answer 3

Fire if youo're not careful.....not to mention further damage to your computer if it doesn't cause a fire.
