No. Fuse is a protective device.
A fuse is part of a circuit and does not act as a load and does not cause a voltage drop unless more than the rated current passes through it and it heats up (using up some power and causing a voltage drop) and melts or switches off breaking the circuit.

What is the meaning of the number 15 on a fuse or circuit breaker?
This is the amount of current that the wire in the fuse will "fuse" or open. and the Breaker will trip. Having said that, the time it takes to blow will depend on how close to the max the current is. If you put 13 amps on a 15 amp fuse, it will get hot enough to blow eventually. No fuse or breaker should have more than 80% load.
What are point loads in engineering?
A point load is a load which is localized to a specific location on a structure. (Even though it is usually really not applied at a sharp point) The alternate kind of a load is a distributed load, which is pread accross a large area. For example, a pedestrian standing on a footbridge is considered a point load. Snow on the same footbridge is considered distributed load.
How do you calculate fuse size in a 150hp 3 phase 600V motor?
find the line current first... i=(150*735.5) / (sqrt(3)*600*0.8) assume pf of 0.8 the current value gines u reqd fuse rating
Which is better Compression load cell or double ended shear beam load cell?
Dear actually it depend on its application. Where do you want to use them.. Compression Load Cell is considered as one of the best and long performance load cell. and Double Ended shear beam load cell is widely known for its smooth operations.
What is Full load college course?
A full-time load is considered to be enrolling for at least 12 credits (semester hours), or more. The average course load is approximately five course on the average of 15 credits per semester. However, it depends on the specific program of study and its curriculum layout. Anything less than 12 credits is considered part-time.A full-time load is considered to be enrolling for at least 12 credits (semester hours), or more.

How the capacity of fuse is determined?
The capacity of fuse is determined by the load current.
What fuse controls the cigarette lighter on 2004 range rover?
It is the fuse box in the Rear load space on the Right hand side as you look into the load space. The Fuse can be identified from the Fuse box cover!
Is a switch considered a load?
No it is not considered a load. A load transforms electrical energy into other types of energy :)
Is a motor considered to be a load?
Yes. A motor is considered to be a load of the power supply in use.
How does a fuse power a electrical plug?
A fuse doesn't 'power' an electrical plug. A fuse protects the load supplied by that plug.
Is a switch a load?
No it is not considered a load. A load transforms electrical energy into other types of energy :)
Where is the electric load detector 98 Honda Prelude?
The electric load detector (ELD) is connected to the fuse box.
What happens if a circuit shorts to ground before the load?
fuse blows
How do you calculate the fuse rating level if the full load is 4 amp?
A fuse rating is normally the 120% of the rated full load current. So, 4 amps times 120% is (4x120%) = 4.8amps
Why does your elc fuse blow in your 96 Buick Roadmaster?
The elc fuse is for the electronic load control, there is a short somewhere in the system
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.
Why is it not okay to use a fuse with a higher amperage rating in an electrical circuit?
The fuse is supposed to be the weakest link in the circuit. The circuit is rated to handle a specific load current. The wire and insulation rating of the circuit is governed by this specific load. If this load malfunctions and the load current becomes higher that what is specified, the fuse is there to break the circuit. A fuse of a higher rating than what is called for will allow a higher current to flow through the circuit which could cause the insulation on the wire to melt, the wire to burn open or components in the circuit to become unusable. Never over fuse an electrical circuit with a larger amp rated fuse.
