Got my power cable mixed up

[Mozzila]

Got my PSU power cable mixed up with my monitor power cable.

One is a 10A fuse and the other a 5A fuse, they are both similar thickness.

My guess would be the 10A goes in the PSU but would it matter?

5A x 240V = 1200W.

10A x 240V = 2400W.

Put the 10A in the PSU.

EDIT : Although 240V is AC, it is peak 240V or RMS?

Not unless you expect to be drawing more than 1000W on your PC and for that you'd need a triple high end graphics rig.

Well actually it might matter to the monitor but even that would be better off with a 3A fuse. Fuses are a last line of defense these days when we have these RCD devices in our comsumer units. I haven't had a fuse blow in years.

Its RMS 240V
