What is ampere rating of a fuse used to protect a 5.5 mm squared conductor?
The equivalent mm2 cross-sectional area of a 5.26 mm2 conductor is a # 10 AWG conductor. A # 10 AWG conductor size is protected by a 30 amp fuse.
If a 10 ampere fuse blows constantly it should be replaced with 15 ampere fuse?
Most definetly not. If a ten amp fuse has been used to protect a circuit, then it has been rated by guidlines to be the most that that circuit can hold. If you put a 15 amp fuse in its place, you are effectively allowing more current to flow through the cables than it is rated for, which will lead to excessive heating in cables and possible fire. If your fuse is constantly blowing, it means there is most likely something wrong with the cables, like a short circuit. This is extremely dangerous. Call a qualified electrician to fix the problem
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.
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.
Is a 10 ampere fuse suitable for 240 volt?
Yes a 10 amp fuse can be used to protect a 240 volt circuit. The amperage rating of a fuse is based on the given amperage load of the circuit. The voltage rating on a fuse must match or be higher than the voltage that is applied to the fuse. In other words you can not use a 240 volt fuse on a 277, 347, 480 or 600 volt circuit but it can be used on a 120 volt, Manufactures of switching equipment today make it impossible to interchange different voltage fuses to be installed in higher voltage switches.
Will a relay with a 40 amp rating function properly in a circuit with a 30 amp fuse?
Yes, a relay with a 40 amp rating can be used in a circuit with a 30 amp fuse. The fuse is designed to protect the circuit from overcurrent, while the relay's rating indicates the maximum load it can handle. As long as the total current drawn by the circuit does not exceed the fuse rating, the relay should function properly.
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.
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.
A fuse is used to protect a series circuit?
A fuse can protect the conductors in both a series and parallel circuit.
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.
Can a 13a fuse be used in a plug that takes a 3a fuse?
No, a 13A fuse should not be used in a plug designed for a 3A fuse. The purpose of the fuse is to protect the appliance and wiring from overheating and potential fire hazards; using a higher-rated fuse can lead to the appliance drawing more current than it is designed for, potentially causing damage or safety risks. Always use the correct fuse rating specified for the appliance to ensure safe operation.
How many amps does car socket in car put out?
Please check your car's owner's manual! When these powered cigar lighters they were typically protected by 20 ampere fuses, but now that they are only used to provide electric power a 10 ampere fuse is common and some cars use fuses with even a lower rating. Please check your car's owner's manual to find the actual limit!
