What fuse should I use for my amp?
The correct size of fuse to use depends on the amp you are wiring. If your amp has an internal fuse, then your inline car amp fuse should be a bit larger. For instance, if your amp has an internal 20 amp fuse, then you should go for a 25 or 30 amp inline fuse.
What color is a 3 amp fuse?

What do different color fuses mean?
Car fuses are color coded by amp rating. For example, a standard blue fuse has a 15-amp rating, yellow is 20 amps and green is 30. Note: If your new fuse blows soon after installing it, you could have problems in that circuit.
Are blade fuses Colour code?
Fortunately, blade fuses are also colour coded. So even if the Amp rating number is illegible, you can still determine the fuse rating by its standardized body colour (see below).
What amp fuse do I need for car audio?
Fuse ‘A’ must be rated to protect wire ‘B’. Any fuse rated at less than ~150 amps is sufficient to protect a 4g wire and the vehicle but I generally recommend a 125 amp fuse with 4g wire.
Does it matter what fuse you use?
The plug with its fuse for the appliance make the minimum protection required for your piece of equipment/appliance. An incorrect fuse however will continually blow if it is incorrectly rated or fail to protect your equipment from a catastrophic meltdown if it is too high.
Does fuse color matter?
As long as all the other specifications match (specifically amperage, voltage and receptacle size), the color will not make a difference. These particular style of circuit breakers are not color coded. As long as the base matches and the amperage matches what the circuit was designed, then it should work fine.
What amp fuse do I need for LED lights?
75mm is good for about 7.5 amps max. I generally like to have at least 100% extra rating so a 3 amp fuse max is what i would use. This should be plenty for 4 leds. If you have working leds but blow a 10A fuse i think your wiring needs checking and you will probably find your fuse is directly across the battery.

Click to expand… It was the pump motor, made the mistake of checking for voltage while the motor was still connected. Pulled the connector and got voltage when the switch was activated. Replaced the pump. Still, never had a pump just stop working like that, usually make some noise or work poorly first.
When to replace the fuse on a Chevy Impala?
The wiring circuits in your vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of fires caused by electrical problems. Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse.
