A 19 A fuse in a household circuit burns out. If fuses of only 17 A or 24 A were available to replace it, which would be safer? The 17 A fuse would be safer since it is lower than the 19 A original. The 24 A fuse would be safer since it is large enough to handle 19 A. More information is needed. The 17 A fuse might be better because it is closer to the 19 A original or the 24 A might be better because it seems to have enough capacity.
