A fuse is a safety device that lies in series in a circuit between an electrical source and its associated load(s). When the current, or flow of electricity, exceeds its designed threshold, the fuse is calibrated to permanently open the series circuit, thereby disconnecting the load(s) from the power source. Unlike circuit breakers, which can be reset to allow current to flow again, once a fuse disconnects, it must be discarded and replaced with a new fuse.
The misuse of a fuse is when the wrong value of the replacement fuse is used in placement of the original value of the fuse.
Apparently mainly tinned copper is used in fuse wires. I have heard that there are a lot of other metals used as teh fuse wire though!
Fuse 4
No, a capacitor can not be used as a fuse to limit an overload current condition.
we use a time delay fuse at furnace area where heaters are used ect,
An AGS-1 fuse is an 1/4" glass 1amp fuse which is used in aircraft.
It is a circuit fuse in a vehicle. The fuse is used to protect the courtesy/clock circuit.
yes but its not recomended
An ELSP is a current limiting fuse used in series with the primary fuse of a transformer.
HOT CAR----no fuse required.
A fuse is a one-time device; once it is used, it is no good. A breaker can be reset.
Fuse is used to protect against over load. The fuse blows off if there is overloading in the circuit. This prevents the flow of current in the circuit beyond the position of the fuse. The equipment which is overloaded in the circuit is thus saved.
