What is an example of a circuit interrupter?
An example of a circuit interrupter would a fuse or circuit breaker.
What will happen if a thick copper wire is used in fuse?
If a thick copper wire is used in a fuse then by definition of a fuse this device would no longer be defined as a fuse. A fuse in a circuit is used to protect the conductors feeding the load of that circuit. The circuit, if using a thick copper wire in a fuse, would then be considered as a non fused circuit.

How many 100watt 220volts bulbs can be safely used in a circuit with a fuse of 5 ampere rating?
The current (ampere) changes from a high value at switch on to a run current of of approx 0.5 amperes. The fuse blows at switch on if too many lamps are connected. It also depends on the cable used to wire up the lamps and the length of the cable.
How a fuse controls the flow of electric current in a circuit?
A fuse does not control the flow in a circuit, it limits the current in a circuit. If the load in a circuit shorts out the fuse link melts and opens the circuit and stops the current flow and prevents the wires feeding the circuit from melting and catching fire. resist
On your vehicle if both stop lamps are burnt out and the fuse is not blown would this be a circuit issue or just a fluke?
Both Stop Lamps Burned OutSounds like pure coincidence to me.

Why is the fuse always on the 'live' side of the appliance?
If there was a fault to earth the casing of the appliance would remain live otherwise. Also there could be a large current from live to earth which could heat the wires to the extent that your house burns down. This is expensive! Neutral is near earth potential anyway. <<>> The fuse should be the first device in any circuit. When a fault occurs the potential across the circuit should become zero to ground. If the fuse was located on the downstream side of the load it would still open the circuit but every part of the circuit upstream from the load would still have a voltage potential to ground. Any one working on the circuit upstream from the load has the potential to receive a shock even though the fuse has opened the circuit. So to answer the question the placement of the fuse in a circuit is for safety reasons.
What would cause fuse 14 to keep blowing on your 2000 Ford Windstar It is the fuse that operates the Compass Auto head lamps and several other things. I replace it and it blows in about 1-2 days.?
Overload in circuit? Loose connection causing an overheat condition in circuit? Loose wire that touches ground when going over a bump etc.?
Which fuse is connected to the tail lights on the 1991 ford explorer?
According to my Chilton repair manual: Fuse # 1 - 15 amp - for stop lamps/four-way flash/speed control inhibit Fuse # 11 - 15 amp - for park lamps / license lamps Fuse # 13 - 15 amp - for turn lamps/ back up lamps
What would cause 80 amp alt fuse to keep blowing?
Short in the wiring, fuse too small for the circuit, circuit overloaded, or short in something plugged into the circuit.
How does circuit breaker or fuse protect the house from fire?
The fuse is matched to the size wire in the circuit the breaker/fuse it is protecting. For instance, a 20 amp breaker/fuse is used in combination with AWG 12/2 wire. A 15 amp breaker/fuse would be used with AWG 14/2 wire. If there is too much current flow in the circuit caused by either overloading the circuit or by a short in the wires the wiring would overheat and catch fire if not for the breaker/fuse. The breaker/fuse is designed to detect this and to trip or blow and shut off all power flowing to that circuit and prevent a fire. This is why you should never install the wrong size fuse. Put a 20 amp fuse on a 15 amp circuit and it would not protect the circuit as it should.

When a fuse blows does the circuit short out?
Not necessarily. It can blow because the circuit was overloaded and pulling too much current. That would cause the fuse to overheat and blow.
How do you reset the circuit breaker on the cigarette lighter on a 63 ford falcon?
It does not have a circuit breaker. It uses a fuse to protect the circuit. Look for a blown fuse in the fuse panel under the dash on the drivers side.I believe the cigarette lighter circuit is protected with a glass barrel fuse not a circuit breaker. Check the fuse box for a blown fuse.
CAn you replace a 13 amp fuse with 15 amp fuse?
It will work but will not protect the circuit as it should. By design, the circuit should have a maximum of 13 amps, but with the larger fuse in place, currents of 14 and 15 amps can occur without blowing the fuse, and this flow could damage parts of the circuit. It would be much safer to use a lower value, which would lead to more blowing of the fuse but no damage to the circuit being protected.
