Why is a fuse important?
a fuse is important because if there is a overload of energy the fuse will take it in and if the fuse blows it means there is a problem or a thecnical problem with that source. a fuse can be found in a series circuit.
Why the size of a fuse holder increase as the rating of a fuse?
As a general rule, the larger the current rating of the fuse, the larger will be the fuse holder (or at least the metal contacts) because it will have to be capable of handling larger currents without overheating.
Which electrical safety device melts easily during a short circuit or overload?
You're talking about a "fuse". The fuse doesn't know anything about "short circuit" or "overload". It only knows that the current through it has exceeded its rated value, but nothing about how or why that occurred.
Why is a fuse wire necessary in a circuit?
a fuse wire melts when current passing through it exceeds a certain value as in overloading and short circuiting .this breaks the circuit prventing further current flow and damage ..
What are the safety features available in a breaker?
To detect and open the circuit if a thermal overload is present and to detect and open the circuit if a short circuit caused by a magnetic increase of flux in the circuit.
How fuse is a safety device?
fuse is a safety device because it dosnt harm us.
Why does a plug need fuse in it?
The fuse is a safety feature.
How does a fuse help safety?
A fuse is a safety device that helps prevent excess current flowing in an electric circuit.
Which safety device will melt if the current is too big?
This safety device is called a fusible link that is situated inside of a fuse cartridge.
Why does a plug need fuse?
A fuse is fitted to a plug as a safety feature.
Where sensors incorporated into the design to increase safety?
were sensor incorporated into the designs to increase safety mind
What will happen to a safety device if there is short circiut?
If your reference to a safety device is a fuse, then if there is a short circuit, the circuit will be de energized by the opening of the fuse.
Where is the neutral safety switch located on a 2004 Envoy?
The neutral safety switch is located, on your 2004 Chevrolet envoy, on the side of the transmission next to the shifting linkage. The safety switch also has a fuse in the fuse box.
Safety belts increase the chance of surviving a collision by what percent?
Safety belts increase the chance of surviving a collision by 50%.
What safety device was invented by William bickford in 1831?
Fuse
Safety feature important in preventing the overheating of wiring?
Fuse
Why should a fuse of defined rating not be replaced with one with larger rating?
The fuse is rated to protect the equipment, the supply, and you. Change the fuse for a higher rating and you compromise your safety and equipment and supply safety; increasing the risk of electric shock and of fire.
