CAUTION
Never replace a defective fuse with a fuse with a larger ampere rating. Installing a larger ampere rated fuse may cause circuit conductor and component overheating and damage.

NOTE
Always replace a circuit breaker with one of the same ampere rating. Repair the cause of the excessive current flow in the circuit before replacing the defective circuit breaker.
