Assuming this means 'what is '.... Light fixtures, motors, heaters, etc all have some form of protection in the event the operating temperature is exceeded to prevent equipment failure or a fire from resulting. Basically, these protective devices are one-time devices like a fuse that need to be replaced, or sometimes are a thermostat type of resetable device, either automatically or manually reset. Recessed light fixtures have automatic reset overtemp devices; electric hot water heaters have manually reset devices for example

Why protection of electrical systems is important?

Protection of electrical systems is important to prevent overheating, fires, and damage to equipment. It helps ensure continued operation of the systems, protects against electrical shocks, and enhances overall safety for people and property. Proper protection measures such as circuit breakers, fuses, and grounding can minimize risks and disruptions caused by electrical failures.


How does an electrical thermometer works?

An electrical thermometer works by measuring changes in electrical resistance as temperature changes. This change in resistance is then converted into a temperature reading. The resistance of the sensor in the thermometer varies with temperature, allowing for accurate temperature measurements.


What is ambient temperature as used in electrical installation?

Ambient temperature in electrical installation refers to the temperature of the surrounding environment where the electrical components are being installed or operated. It is important to consider ambient temperature as it can affect the performance and lifespan of electrical equipment. Installations must be designed to account for the ambient temperature to ensure safety and efficiency.


What can fuses not provide protection against?

Fuses do not provide protection against ground faults. Protection against a ground fault can be provided by breakers. If a fuse blows, it has to be replaced. If a breaker is tripped to off due to a surge in electrical current, the breaker can be reset.
