Why use a Time delay fuse versus non time delay?
A time delay fuse will allow for a temporary spike in the current (up to 100 or 200% of the fuse rating), such as when starting a motor. A regular (non-time delay fuse) will not allow for any spike over the current rating of the fuse. If you have a motor that pulls 2 amps while running, but pulls 6 ampls while starting, then you will want to use either a 6 amp non time delay fuse, or a 2 amp time delay fuse. If you are talking about pyrotechnics, a time delay (properly called a slow burning) fuse will give you more time to run for cover.
What fuse is for central locking on citroen C3?
Fuse F16 rating 30 A which is in the fuse box in the glove box compartment.
What is a fuse rating?
Fuses have two basic ratings. The first is current rating. The current rating is the amount of current that a fuse will safely pass before blowing. When the current flow through a fuse exceeds its rating, it opens up and breaks the circuit. If a fuse has a 5 A rating, it will open as current flow through it exceeds 5 amps. It is useful to note that there are some fuses that are designated as time delay. These fuses will sustain current in excess to their current rating for a short period before blowing. The fuse that blows immediately when its rated current is exceeded is an instantaneous fuse. The other way fuses are rated is by voltage. So when selecting a fuse, be sure that both the current and voltage rating are suitable for the application.Fuse rating is the permissible minimal current to pass in the fuse element,without causing the fuse to blow or melt.
Where do you used a time delay fuse?
we use a time delay fuse at furnace area where heaters are used ect,
What is the function of the time delay Fuse?
The time delay fuse allows a momentary overload due to startup current.
What is the difference between a fuse and a time delay fuse?
A time delay fuse will not blow at the first sign of an overload. It will delay blowing just long enough to allow a motor to start or a compressor to startup.
Does using a higher amperage fuse use more power in a central air system?
You should never use a higher fuse rating than the wire size permits. If there were some fault in your central air that caused more current to flow than the rating of the wire, you could cause a fire.
What is the difference between a slo-blo fuse and a time delay fuse?
There is no difference. Slo-Blo is just a trademarked name for a time delay fuse.
It is ok to use a fuse with a higher amperage rating and not ok to use a fuse with a smaller amperage rating why?
It is ok to use a fuse with a higher amperage rating and not ok to use a fuse with a smaller amperage rating why?
What do the letters mdl stand for on a fuse?
