asked on
what amp should the plug be for a monitor and PC ? 5 amp or 13 amp
spoke to a customer who had a monitor that wouldn’t power up
turns out the fuse was blown and it was a 5 amp in it
what amp should it be for a screen and what amp for a PC
I would have thought 13 amp for UK ?

The outlet might output 13 amps, but the monitor will only draw less than 5 amps. The fuse is there to protect the monitor from going over 5 amps. It normally shouldn't go over that, but if there was a voltage spike then the circuit may go over. The fuse is there to protect the monitor from those spikes and it did its job.
Always replace a fuse with the equivalent fuse. Never replace the fuse with a higher amperage fuse
