What is the value of steady current demanded by an electrical load called?
Electrical current is measured in amperes (amps for short). Most electrical items, fridges, freezers, washers, tumbledryers, are usually rated with fuses of 13amps, but there can be a different ampage rating for different electrical items. A bedside lamp will probably be fuse rated at 3amps. The fuse rating is to safeguard the items from being damaged by any surge in current.
