If a clearance lamp circuit has a 15 amp fuse installed, what is the maximum draw that should be applied to that circuit?

10 amps
15 amps
20 amps
25 amps

The correct answer is: 15 amps

In a circuit with a fuse rated for a specific amperage, the maximum draw that should be applied to that circuit should not exceed the fuse’s rating. A 15 amp fuse is designed to protect the circuit by breaking the connection if the current draw exceeds that limit. Therefore, the maximum draw that can safely be applied to this clearance lamp circuit is 15 amps. Exceeding this rating could lead to overheating of the wiring and potentially cause damage to components or create a fire hazard. The fuse acts as a safety device, so keeping the draw at or below the fuse rating ensures that the circuit operates safely and efficiently without the risk of tripping the fuse, which would interrupt the circuit's operation.
