what 13 amp external fuse are you speaking about? if this is a power line fuse feeding the dryer then its way too small normally you use 2 30 amp fuses or a 30 amp tandem pole breaker to power the receptacle where the dryer plug plugs in
If you mean the plug rating, you can run a 180amp mig welder on a 13amp plug, however above about 150 amps the fuse in the plug will blow, you then need to up grade to a 16 amp plug and wall socket, with the wall wiring going back to a fuse box with a 20amp fuse.
check the fuse that's in the plug check it with a multi meter on continuity test bye putting the meter on both end of the fuse the meter should beep or you should get some sort a resistance from it if the fuse is ok other solution is taking a fuse out some other house hold appliance that you know works and try the fuse from that in it make sure its the same amp as the one you take out you microwave or close to it it will blow strait away if its to low a fuse rating think its 13amp
These saws have a rather large amount of draw on a 15 amp breaker... they should be able to operate on a 15 amp breaker, however nothing else can share that breaker.... and if it is an outside plug (GFI) it will be even more likely to trip. If possible, use a 20 amp breaker...they can be found in the garage where central vacuum plugs in. If this isn't an option then ensure nothing else is on a normal 15 amp breaker, use a heavy gauge extension cord, and the shorter the cord the better.
please check your fuse box, it must have 22amps fuse. if not than upgrade it. if your fuse is of 22amps or above, than my friend you have to replace your switch...............thank you and have a nice day
You need to get an electrician to wire it in to a 30amp cooker outlet. It is 30amp rather than 13amp (like most sockets). It should go to its own fuse in the fuebox
The convention with fuses is up to 720 watts a 3 amp fuse should be used and above 720 watts a 13 amp fuse should be used.
To be precise you need to know the exact wattage of the kettle.
Sometimes maufacturers will fit 5 amp fuses but these are only good for a power rating of 1200 watts maximum (at 240 volts).
So as your kettle is rated at more than 1200 watts it needs a 13 amp fuse.
