No.
we can't use 5 A fuse in carrying 15 A current because fuse will protect only till 5 A. if current exceeds than 5 A then it will be short circuit & further it may leads to fire .fuse will protect the electric appliances in line till 5 A.

Fuse is a safety device which protect the circuit from excess amount of current passing through it if we use 5 A fuse for a current carrying 15 A this can lead to short circuit and can also cause fire. Therefore, we can't use 5 A fuse for a wire carrying 15 A current.
