What happens if you use a fuse that's overrated for voltage but has the correct current rating?
Using a fuse correctly rated for current but "overrated" for voltage does not present a problem. Current ratings are critical safety issues, and fuses should be replaced with those of the same current rating. But using a fuse with an identical current rating but a higher voltage rating is not a problem. The reason for that lies in what the voltage rating of a fuse is. Fuses are given a voltage rating to state a maximum voltage in a circuit that they are designed to protect. And the voltage rating has nothing to do with the "normal" operation of the fuse. The fuse carries current when it operates normally, but when something happens and excessive current flows, the fusible link heats up and opens. This is where the voltage rating comes into play. It is possible that a fuse can arc through when it fails. It is the voltage rating that stands in the way of this. As long as the voltage rating of a circuit is not beyond the voltage rating of the fuse, that fuse will fail safely when it fails. It is acceptable to use a fuse of an equal current rating but a higher voltage rating when replacing a fuse that has failed.
What colour is a 15-amp fuse in a 240-volt single-phase supply?
In North America fuse sizes are not colour coded. Manufactures have all sorts of colours and advertising on their own particular brand of fuses. What is common is the type and fuse trip size, this number is on all manufactured fuses along with the maximum voltage that the fuse can be subjected to.
Does the device or cable determine the voltage on a slow cooker?
The voltage is always determined by the device. (in this case a slow cooker).However, having established what voltage to supply to the device, the cable must be suitable for the voltage used. Everything in the chain of power transmission, must be rated for the correct voltage. Cables, plugs, fuses etc.
How is the fuse connected in the circuit?
The fuses are held by spring metal clips , the clips are themselves being permanently connected to the circuit conductors.
What is T1.25AL fuse means in terms of voltage and current rating?
Most `T' fuses are rated in either 125 volt or 250 volts A.C. If you look at the metal end cap on one of the ends, it'll specify which voltage it's rated. The 1.25, is 1.25 amps at the rated voltage.
What are the common fuses for household use?
Common fuses for household use include the plug-type fuses like the glass tube fuse and the ceramic fuse used in appliances and electronics. Circuit breakers are also commonly used in household electrical systems to protect against overcurrent and short circuits.
Where are the fuses located in a 2001 Monte Carlo?
The fuses and relays are in the power distribution box.jd
What is the ratings for a pole fuse?
There are two types of pole-mounted fuse. One type is a high-voltage fuse, intended to protect the transformer. The other type is a low-voltage fuse, intended to protect the cable or line supplied by the secondary winding of that transformer. The current ratings of these fuses depend entirely on the current ratings of the devices they are there to protect.
Would a bad voltage reulator cause fuses to blow?
Years ago this problem was very frequent. Charging systems are far more advanced now.If the voltage regulator is bad, I can see that the higher than expected voltage increased the current, causing the fusing to blow out. However, if the voltage regulator is good (if the voltage regulator is on the alternator, one would hope it is good), then the voltage should be ok. So the possible problems include: 1) Bad voltage regulator, leading to too high a voltage, causing the fuses to blow out. 2) The mechanic used the wrong fuses. 3) There is a short circuit in the circuits controlled by the fuses. It should be easy to test for [1] with a voltmeter and [2] by checking the fuse ratings against the ones in the owner's manual. If it is [3], some needs to go and figure out where the short(s) is.
What voltage fuses for Honda 4 wheeler?
12 volt
What size fuses are required for a 7.5KW Motor?
It depends on the voltage.
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.
Fuses increase or decrease the voltage of a current electrcity?
Fuses have absolutely no effect whatsoever on the voltage applied to a circuit. Fuses are simply overcurrent protection devices, intended to disconnect the circuit in the event of a sustained overload current or a short-circuit fault current.
