In simple terms, whenever a fuse 'blows', the resulting gap in the melted element must be great enough to prevent the voltage across that gap from maintaining or re-igniting the resulting arc. So, in addition to their current rating, fuses are also rated according to the voltage at which they are designed to operate.
So, if you were to use a 32-V fuse in a 250-V circuit, it is likely that it will not be able to extinguish the resulting arc when the fuse operates, and the circuit will not be protected properly.
What else can I help you with?
Why not put a 12 volt motor to replace the 120 volt motor in your freezer Will this work?
The voltage of 120 volts is more common that the lower voltage of 12 volts.
Fuse to protect 110 volt from 220 volt?
Using a fuse will not protect a 110-volt appliance from 220 volts. You will need a voltage converter or transformer to step down the voltage from 220 volts to 110 volts to protect the appliance. It is important to use the correct equipment to ensure the safety and proper functioning of the appliance.
What happens if you use a 12 volt coil with a 6 volt system?
Probably not much because 6 Volts is not enough to power a 12 Volt coil
Volts are measured in?
A volt is a volt is a volt.
Measure in volts?
A volt is a volt is a volt.
Do you replace the coil from a 6 volt to a 12 volt when converting from 6 volt to a 12 volt system?
Yes, when converting from a 6-volt system to a 12-volt system in a vehicle, you typically need to replace the coil with one that is compatible with 12 volts. This is because a coil designed for a 6-volt system may not be able to handle the higher voltage and could lead to issues with the ignition system.
Can I Replace 2.5 volt Christmas bulb with 3.5 volt bulb?
NO! There are 50 bulbs in a 2.5 volt string or 125 volts. There are 35 bulbs in a 3.5 volt string or 122.5 volts. If you put 50 3.5 volt bulbs in you will have 175 volts and most american house have 110 volt service so you will have dim bulbs.
If a 50 amp fuse rated 32 volts is used in a 12 volt circuit at what amperage will it fail?
The fuse will fail at 50 amps regardless of which voltage you use.
How many volts are 16milli - volts?
0.016 volt
Will it work if you replace a 1.25 amp 125 volt fuse with a 1 amp 250 volt fuse?
Yes you can do that as long as it will fit in the fuseholder. It is acceptable to replace a lower Voltage Rated fuse with a higher but NEVER replace a higher with a lower. There are several things to consider when replacing a fuse: 1) The minimum voltage rating of the fuse is equal to or higher than the voltage of the circuit you are placing it in 2) The Amperage rating of the fuse does not exceed the capacity of the circuit you are trying to protect. Always replace a fuse with one that has the same amperage rating. 3) The interrupting rating of the fuse is sufficent for the capacity of the circuit supplying the fuse. If replacing a fuse always use one with an interrupting capacity equal to or greater than the fuse you are replacing.
What is the maximum wattage for 5 amp fuse?
The 5 amp fuse has many wattages that it can protect. It depends on the voltage of the circuit that the fuse is protecting. Use the following formula, Watts = Volts x Amps. For example 120 volts x 5 amps = 600 watts, 240 volts x 5 amps = 1200 watts, 480 volts x 5 amps = 2400 watts and 600 volts x 5 amps = 3000 watts.
What happens when a 110 volt lamp is plugged into a 240 volt source?
A bright flash and a dud bulb, possibly a blown fuse instead.
