FAQs
What does '13A' mean?
13A refers to the amperage rating of the fuse. It indicates the maximum current the fuse can handle before it blows.
Can I use a different amperage fuse?
No, always replace the fuse with the correct amperage specified for your appliance. Using a higher or lower amperage fuse can be dangerous.
How do I know if the fuse is blown?
Visually inspect the fuse. If the wire inside is broken or there is a dark spot, the fuse has blown.

Are these fuses suitable for all appliances?
No, these are 13A fuses and are only suitable for appliances that require this amperage. Always check your appliance's manual.
