tin lead alloy
basically tin lead allows are used . but other metals which have low melting point and appropriate resistivity can be used

∙ 12y agoApparently mainly tinned copper is used in fuse wires. I have heard that there are a lot of other metals used as teh fuse wire though!

Why the fuse is placed in live wire only?
So that the live wire is isolated when the fuse blows. If a fuse was placed in the neutral, the equipment would still be live when the fuse blows.
What wire in a circuit should contain the fuse?
The live wire
Should use thick or thin wire in an electric fuse?
Every fuse is rated for some certain current. The rating is the maximum currentthat can flow through the fuse before the wire in it gets so hot that it melts andopens the circuit. (In the arcane jargon of the high-tech world of engineering,especially electrical, this event is described by saying that the fuse "blew".)The thinner the wire is, the less current it can conduct before the wire melts.The thicker the wire is, the more current it can carry before the wire melts.So, the wire you select for your fuse completely depends on the current forwhich you want to rate your fuse, and above which you want it to "blow".
What is the colour of the neutral wire in a fuse?
yellow?
What type of wire is used in fuse and why?
Fuse wire is usually made with metal that has a low melting point, e.g. tin, to lessen the risk of fire.
Does negative ground wire have fuse?
NO. Usually the positive wire will have the fuse.
Why is it dangerous to replace a fuse with a wire that bypass the fuse?
Why is it dangerous to replace a fuse with a wire that bypasses the fuse
What is thicker a 8amp fuse wire or a 15amp wire?
The 15 amp fuse.
How do you change wire fuse for circuit breaker?
A circuit breaker does not have a wire fuse in it.
What is the difference between fuse wire and normal wire?
Fuse wire is designed to open under over current conditions. Just like a fuse.
When installing a CD player in a 1992 Grand Prix SE if the ignition wire isn't working is there a fuse for this and where does this wire lead to?
yes there is a fuse in the fuse box. the wire will lead to it or to the ignition switch. But the fuse to amke the hot wire hot is in the under dash mounted fuse box.
How do you wire an inline fuse?
Isolate the cicuit in question, or turn off power altogether. Remove the burned/fused section of the fuse wire in the fuse carrier and replace with the recommended fuse wire. Turn power back on.
Why can't copper wire used as a fuse wire?
Metal with a lower melting point is preferred for fuse wire to reduce the risk of fire.
What is a fuse wire?
A fused jumper wire is just a wire with or with out alligator clips that has a fuse on it. It can be either buss or blade fuse. You can make one with some parts at autozone or similar parts store.
Why the fuse is placed in live wire only?
So that the live wire is isolated when the fuse blows. If a fuse was placed in the neutral, the equipment would still be live when the fuse blows.
How do you choose the right fuse for the job?
The correct size fuse needed is based on the size wire used in the circuit. The size wire needed is based on the load that will be applied to the circuit. 1. AWG 14/2 wire = 15 amp fuse 2. AWG 12/2 wire = 20 amp fuse 3. AWG 10/2 wire = 30 amp fuse 4. AWG 8/2 wire = 40 amp fuse
What is the Composition of fuse wire?
Fuse is an alloy of lead and tin.
