Re: 15 amp power tool vs. 13 amp power tool on in-place 15 amp circuit



sorry, I have not read any o/ posts.

the fuse blows to protect the wire only, its a pull thing, not a push. You
do not overload the anything in the box. The reason for the fuse is to
protect the wire only. Thicker wirer, same position, higher fuse. Wires
get hot. Fuses are protection. Thinner wires are cheaper. period.
You can get a time delay fuse that takes the fuse a little while to blow at
the rating, a free overload time period. Not sure if in milliseconds, or
seconds. Get em a at HD, etc., anywhere
