No, not directly. The supply voltage has to rise or the resistance has to fall to get over-current. If there was a secondary control voltage that was part of a voltage control circuit for a higher voltage, it is conceivable that a voltage drop in control circuit could cause an over-voltage in the supply.

Motors are constant power devices, so this could be true for a motor. If you have a 1hp motor (loaded at 1hp), it will want to draw 1hp of power no matter the supply voltage. If the voltage dips, the motor will require more current to keep it spinning at it's normal speed.

Low volt fuse to high volt fuse?

I'm not sure of your question here. If you are asking if you can replace a fuse with a fuse with a higher voltage rating, the answer is yes, but it probably won't fit in the same terminals. The voltage rating must be the same or higher than the voltage applied.


What is the effect of voltage reduction on three phase induction motor?

Voltage reduction usually results in an increase in load current which, ultimately, will cause the machine's overcurrent protection to operate and disconnect the motor. This overcurrent may also result in increased voltage drops along the supply lines that can exacerbate the situation as well as affecting other consumers that share the same supply.

What is PDB in electrical engineering?

PDB could stand for power distribution board, normally a low voltage (below 1000V) board used in industrial applications. Typically contains about 20 circuit feeds, each one will have a fuse or a Miniature Circuit Breaker for overcurrent protection of the circuit it feeds. Normally fed in the UK by a 3 phase 415V supply.
