Electrical fuse panels have become obsolete as they no longer meet today’s electrical standards/requirements. Houses now require more power to feed appliances, air conditioning system and technical devices. When you plug in too many devices on one circuit, the fuse becomes overheated and blows. By using a large amp fuse (20 – 30 amps), you may stop the problem of fuse blowing however, the wire is only rated to carry 15 amps.
