maximum amount of current that can flow in the kettle = P = IV
I = 3000/ 220 = 13.63 A
Therefore, out of 3 fuses; fuse of rating 16A will be used because a fuse of higher rating will not blow the equipment when it is used.
I = 3000/ 220 = 13.63 A
Therefore, out of 3 fuses; fuse of rating 16A will be used because a fuse of higher rating will not blow the equipment when it is used.
