Is a circuit breaker an alternative fuses?
Circuit breakers do the same thing as fuses. They interrupt current flow when a certain preset point is reached. The difference between circuit breakers and fuses are that circuit breakers are resettable and reusable, whereas fuses are one time devices that must be replaced after they blow.
What are the differences between a vacuum breaker and a SF6 gas circuit breaker breaker and a sf6 gas circuit breaker?
vcb is have vaccume and sf6 cb is filled with sf6 gas which will have good arc quencing property
Why do none of the windows work but there is not a fuse and circuit breaker is good what next?
I had the same problem with our 1998 Pontiac GP. Both windows suddenly failed to operate. Checked the circuit breaker, that was fine. Could not find any other type of fuse related to the windows. The answer? The electrical pigtail that should have been plugged into the two window operating switches on the drivers side door had come loose. Once reconnected, all was well. (To access the wiring, just GENTLY pry up the switch panel from the bottom - below the two window switches.)
Dryer turns but does not dry?
First thing I'd check is the fuse box. My dryer would sort of warm the clothes, but take forever to dry them. It turned out I had a weak circuit breaker. It would trip, but not vigorously enough to trip the counterpart that was connected to it. It looked like it was on, but it wasn't. Cycling the circuit breakers was good for a couple loads, then it would stop working again. I replaced the circuit breaker and never had another problem.
How do I repair a Passenger side window that won't operate and the motor is still good on a 97 maxima?
if the the motor is good you need to check the circuit breaker because the circuit breaker might be the problem. window doesnt go bad my dude the motor goes bad check it again
When is too high a resistance not a good thing in a circuit?
Too high a resistance is always not a good thing in a circuit. That's what "too high" means.
What is the advvantages if a circuit breaker?
You can reset a breaker. Fuses are a one time use device. Once they trip or burn out due to a short, they are no good anymore and you need to replace it with a new one.
What size Mini circuit breaker is the same as a 13 amp fuse?
13 amp breaker. A fuse and circuit breaker perform the exact same function so they should be the exact same size. They protect the wiring within a circuit from overheating and catching on fire. A 13 amp breaker is a superior product that has a good chance of operating between 13 and 13½ amps, while a fuse might not blow until the current reaches 15 amps.
A what stops the flow of charges by switcing off the current if it gets to high?
That's a good description of a fuse or circuit breaker.
Where is the fuse for the power windows located in a 1989 firebird?
ITS SHOULN'T BE JUST A FUSE IT SHOULD HAVE A CIRCUIT BREAKER TOO. THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OPENS IF YOU HOLD THE SWITCH TOO LONG. ITS 20AMP ON MOST CARS THAT I WORKED ON. ITS IN THE FUSEPANEL ON MUSTANGS. GOOD LUCK PAUL G
A circuit in which all the devices are connected in a single path is called?
A series circuit is one is which all current is restricted to one path. A good example of a device that is series-connected is a circuit breaker.
Why does your motorcycle circuit breaker pop when you hit the brake?
Check the wire that goes to your break light. Somewhere along the circuit it is grounded before the lamp and after the switch. Look on the circuit from the switch to the lamp. What is happening is, the circuit is good up to the time that you apply the break. This closes that brake light switch, When the switch closes it sees the dead short and not the lamp. The breaker popping is protecting the circuit wiring from burning up.
