What is the advantage of an electric fuse in an electric circuit?
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
A fuse is intended to be a weak link of thin wire that goes in series with a circuit. If the current becomes too high for any reason, the fuse wire melts and cuts off the supply. Without a fuse, the circuit will heat up until something else melts, which might cause a fire.
So fuses are necessary to prevent electrical fires.

Which electric element should be used so as to open the closed electric circuit?
A switch, circuit breaker, fuse, or switching transistor can do that.
What is the Function of fuse in an electric circuit?
A fuse places a limit on the amount of current that can be drawn by an electric circuit by opening (blowing or melting) when the current exceeds a preset limit. This protects the circuit and the surroundings from fire or damage in the case of an overload or short circuit.
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
What could stop the flow if there is too much electric current?
circuit breaker or fuse
Which electric safety device easily melts whe there is overheating or overloading in the circuit?
fuse?
Are your BMW electric windows connected to a fuse?
Yes, the electric windows are connected to a circuit protection devise such as a fuse or circuit breaker.

What do you understand by the term fuse in an electric fuse circuit?
Fuse is a device that acts as a traffic controller in the electric circuit, it means it breaks the circuit when the power of current is more than what it it needed and prevents the possible damages ...
Why every electric circuit needs a fuse?
The fuse is designed to protect the circuit under fault conditions to aleviate damage

Is there a fuelpumpfuse?
If the vehicle has an electric fuel pump, it has a fuse to protect the circuit.
What are the functions of an electric fuse in a an electric appliance?
To prevent an overload or short from causing the wiring in the circuit supplying power to the appliance from overheating and possibly catching on fire. The fuse is there to protect the wiring and not what is plugged into that circuit.

What is an analogous safety device in an electric circuit corresponding a shear pin in a mechanical system?
A fuse or circuit breaker
How does a fuse help safety?
A fuse is a safety device that helps prevent excess current flowing in an electric circuit.
Does the fan run off of a fuse?
Yes. At some point there will be a fuse or a circuit breaker in the line for an electric fan.
