Joint box

Post by Jun »

Hello~UHM

I bought a joint box as you adviced me.
It says 5AMP. Is it ok? the ceiling light fuse is 5AMP too.
Or should I buy a bit higher one? like 20AMP.

What could be happened if I use 5AMP joint box and if something happened and runs more than 5AMP...?

I think that's impossible because the fuse is 5AMP but just curious.

Many thanks~!!!

You can use a 5 amp, but like Tim says a 20 amp is better!
