Fuse should be connected to a circuit by parallel?
Fuse is a circuit element which disconnects the electrical current from the mains"supply" feeding the load when a condition of fault "short circuit " occurs. one behaviour of electric current that it flows undivided in circuit elements connected in series and is divided when flows in circuit elements connected in parallel. so in order to protect a circuit fuse MUST be connected in series to cut/disconnect the faulty current in a safe/short time. if u connect a fuse in parallel to a component then u will be shorting that component and the component will not function ;because the fuse is a thin wire with a negligible resistance and electrical current flows in the most easy "less resistive" component. besides a short circuit will happen immediatly because u connectthe supply to the neutral! hope that helps.
What device protects an electrical circuit?
An example of a circuit protection device is a fuse. Another example is a circuit breaker.
What will happen if a phase and neutral test by a mutimeter shows continuity?
If the test shows that there is a continuity between the phase leg and the neutral with no load connected, then that circuit should not be energized. If the circuit was energized then the fuse or breaker protecting that leg will trip the circuit open.
What ia series circuit?
A circuit in which elements are connected in series.For example in RLC series circuit resistor,inductor and capacitor are connected in series.
A divice in a circuit that contains a metal strips that melts when the circuit is overheated is called a?
ummm a fuse.
Are your BMW electric windows connected to a fuse?
Yes, the electric windows are connected to a circuit protection devise such as a fuse or circuit breaker.
Where the fuse is connected in the circuit?
the fuse is placed in series with the device
Why is the fuse always connected in the beginning of the circuit?
A fuse is an over current protection device, and will operate wherever it is placed in a circuit. However, because it's important that it isolates the faulty circuit from the supply, it MUST be located in the line (NEVER the neutral) conductor at the point where the circuit is connected to the supply.The point is that the circuit will always be energised (and potentially dangerous) up to the point where the fuse is connected, even when the fuse has operated and no current can flow.
What is the purpose of connecting fuse in both positive and negative terminals?
Because if it is not connected to both it is not a full circuit and therefore if it is not a full circuit then the fuse can't protect you.
Which is the radio fuse in a 1988 4Runner?
The radio fuse is connected to the horn circuit, under the hood left/passenger side (15 Amp fuse)
An electrical tool that melts to open a curcuit?
fuse

Can you replace 1 amp fuse with a 5 amp fuse?
No, the one amp fuse is the recommendation of the manufacturer of the circuit. By replacing it with a fuse five times larger will default the warranty placed on the equipment by the manufacturer. Where one amp will do no damage to the circuit, five amps could destroy the components that are connected in the circuit.
Will a fuse work successfully connected in parallel?
Absolutely not. A fuse works by "monitoring" the current flowing in the circuit. Setting the fuse next to whatever it should be monitoring will do absolutely no good.
What happen if fuse is connected to neutral wire?
The fuse will be blown off in case of any fault. But the circuit will not be isolated because of the presence of fuse in nutral line. current will still flow and the line will be so dangerous.
What blows ignition fuse?
A blowing fuse is an indication that there is a short circuit condition in that circuit. A short circuit condition is the result of a "hot" wire or component in a circuit coming into contact with another wire or component which is "grounded." Grounded means that a metallic component is somewhere connected to the ground post [terminal] on the battery.
Why should a polarity test be conducted out on a lighting circuit?
to make sure the protection device such as fuse are connected at the live part
