Introduction of heating effect of electric current and electric heater fuse metals used for thermocouple?
Can heat energy be converted to light energy and how?
What happen when a fuse wire of 100 ampere is used when a circuit at home draws a maximum current of 20 ampere?
The fuse or breaker should be no bigger than specified for the wiring and devices on the circuit. Your nominal current draw may be 20 amps, but a short circuit would cause maximum current to flow which in this case would be 100 amps until the fuse blew.
Which effect of current does the fuse wire in electric circuits utilize?
The heating effect is used. Normally the current flows through the fuse without undue heating. But if too much current passes through, the fuse will heat and melt, thus stopping the current which could cause a fire if it was not stopped.
Why is copper used in fuses?
Copper is used in the contact points in fuse boxes because it will oxidize and you can separate the points of contact. If it was made if iron and rusted, it will 'weld' the link together and then it is no longer a fuse.
Which size fuse should be used with a No 18 AWG extension cord where only two conductors are carrying current?
The protective device should be rated not more than 10 Amperes and be able to withstand a 1000Ampere short circuit.

How fuses are rated?
Fuses are rated by amperage (current) and voltage. The larger the current need, the larger the rating of the fuse, to handle the current. The voltage rating of a fuse defines the maximum value of circuit voltage in which the fuse can be safely used. A fuse should not be used in a circuit with a voltage exceeding the voltage rating of the fuse.
Can a capacitor be used as a fuse to limit overload current?
No, a capacitor can not be used as a fuse to limit an overload current condition.
How is the minimum fusing current related to the current rating of a fuse?
Each fuse has its own rating. It will be marked on the fuse somewhere.
Does Mazda 6 need heater fuse in engine fuse box?
That fuse controls the heater blower motor. That same motor is also used for the air conditioning. So if you want those to work you will need that fuse installed.
What is ELSP?
An ELSP is a current limiting fuse used in series with the primary fuse of a transformer.
What is the difference between 125V 15A fuse and 230V 15A fuse?
The voltage rating of a fuse (in this case 125V or 230V) defines the maximum circuit voltage that the fuse is safe to be used on. A fuse with a voltage rating of 125V should not be used in a circuit with a voltage greater than 125V. If a 125V fuse were installed in a 230V circuit and an overload current occurred, the fuse could explode.
Which effect of current is utilised in the working of an electric fuse?
The heating effect is used. Normally the current flows through the fuse without undue heating. But if too much current passes through, the fuse will heat and melt, thus stopping the current which could cause a fire if it was not stopped .
What would happen if you used a 60 amp fuse in a 6 amp circuit?
On a fault condition of the circuit, the current most likely will not be removed. If this happens components in the circuit will most likely act as a fuse and will components will be completely destroyed. This is why the manufacturer recommends what size of fuse to use in their equipment and this fuse size should always be used.
