What type of wire is used in fuse and why?
Fuse wire is usually made with metal that has a low melting point, e.g. tin, to lessen the risk of fire.
What is the purpose of the fuse plugs on acetylene tank?
The fuse plugs on acetylene tanks serve as safety devices designed to prevent the risk of explosion in case of a fire or excessive heat. They are made of materials that melt at specific temperatures, allowing the gas to vent safely from the tank instead of building up pressure, which could lead to a catastrophic failure. By releasing the gas, fuse plugs help mitigate the dangers associated with overheating and potential combustion.
If a oversized fuse is used instead of correct fuse what could happen to the fuse?
If you oversize a fuse you run the risk of overloading the wires that are part of the circuit you're trying to protect. Once the wires are overloaded, heat is generated and eventually you could have an electrical fire. The oversized fuse would trip at a higher amperage then what is required to properly protect the circuit. Always use the right size fuses or you run the risk of serious damage, injury and even death.
A fuse is not used for?
A fuse is not used for increasing electrical current. Fuses are designed to protect electrical circuits by breaking the circuit when there is an overload or short circuit, preventing damage to the circuit and potential fire hazards.
Can you use a 220V 20A fuse to replace a 125V 20A?
No, it is not safe to replace a 125V 20A fuse with a 220V 20A fuse. Fuses are designed to protect electrical circuits from overloading, and using a higher voltage fuse could lead to damage or fire hazards in the circuit. Always replace a fuse with the same voltage and amperage rating as the original.
I took my car in for repairs including a new fuse. they replaced the fuse 5 times and it kept blowing. how long can you drive the car without one til it catches on fire?
You need to stop replacing the fuse and find out why it is blowing. It is blowing because you either have a short in the wiring, too small of a fuse, or the circuit is overloaded. If you remove the fuse then there is no danger of it catching on fire. Just make sure you do not install a larger fuse than is recommended.
Can you go 20 percent higher than original fuse?
You can, but it is would increase the danger of a circuit overload. And that could cause damage to the equipment or result in a fire.
Why do schools have a fuse box?
Schools have a fuse box for the same reason that any other building that is wired for electricity would have a fuse box, which is that if the electric power usage is too heavy for the wiring, rather than allowing the wires to melt and set fire to the building, the fuse will blow (or the circuit breaker will break the circuit) and turn off the power.
When you press the switch after the fuse has melted the light bulb will not glow explain?
The fuse has disconnected the power (the wire inside melted) because the current got too high. That's why fuses are used, otherwise there is great danger of fire or electrocution with electrical faults.
Why a fuse can blow?
A fuse can blow when the electrical current flowing through it exceeds its rated capacity, causing the wire inside the fuse to heat up and melt. This typically occurs due to a short circuit, overload, or a fault in the electrical system. By breaking the circuit, the blown fuse helps prevent damage to electrical devices and reduces the risk of fire. Replacing the fuse is necessary to restore the circuit's functionality.
What damage can be caused be replacing a 5amp fuse with a 10amp fuse?
It can cause a fire. The circuit is protected by the 5 amp fuse. This fuse is protecting the wiring in the circuit from overheating and catching fire. Install a 10 amp fuse and the protection is lost. Very dangerous to substitute a larger fuse.
What does a microwave fuse do?
A microwave fuse does what any fuse does. It protects both the microwave and the building's electrical from surges and short-outs.
Why is there no fire in the fuse box on the left side of a Windstar 2002?
There is no fire in the fuse box on the left side of a Windstar 2002 because there was no overflow of current.
what fuse goes to dash lights on a 1991 Pontiac fire bird?
wich fuse goes to my dashboard lights on a 1991 potiac fire bird
Why is it dangerous to replace a fuse with a wire that bypasses the fuse?
By doing that you defeat the purpose of a fuse. The fuse is there to protect the wiring from an overload or short which could cause the wires to overheat and catch on fire. By replacing the fuse with a wire or fuse that is too large all the protection is gone and your car could catch on fire at any moment.
Where is the fuel pump fuse on a beretta?
there is a fuse on the fire wall ,there is constant power to a bolt with wires coming from it, under that there is a plug that is the fuse.
Where is maxifuse on 97 Ford Contour gl?
Depends on the purpose of the fuse. Use exactly the same size fuse as the one you remove, otherwise you may cause a fire. The fuse protects the wiring from overheating and catching fire.
