A device that contains a thin strip of metal that will melt if there is too much current through it?
A fuse has a metal strip that melts and opens a circuit if the current becomes too great.
What electrical safety device has a piece of metal that melts when a current becomes too strong?
A fuse.
What a safety device that melts if the current is too big?
It is a fuse, a piece of metal wire, usually in a glass tube, that can only just carry the maximum allowed current. A current greater than the maximum allowed will melt the wire.
Is a circuit Protection device made from special metals that shut off a switch if too much current flows through a circuit and there is a risk of overloading or overheating the circuit?
The (only) protection device which works like that is a fuse. It is simply a short length of metal which melts when too much current flows through it.
If a current get too big and melts a wire what is it called?
Fusing.
What is a protective device in the current path that melts?
A Fuse
A device that contains a thin strip of metal that will melt if there is too much current through it?
A fuse has a metal strip that melts and opens a circuit if the current becomes too great.
An electrical device in the current path that melts or breaks when current exteeds a predetermined maximum value?
a fuse
What is he safety device that melts if yhe current is too big?
That's called a fuse.
What safety device melts if the current is too large?
A electrical fuse fits that classification.
What electrical safety device has a piece of metal that melts when a current becomes too strong?
A fuse.
What is a device consisting of a thin wire that melts to break a circuit?
A device consisting of a thin wire that melts to break circuit is a fuse. Once an outlet is giving out more electricity than its used to it melts which stops the current from flowing. The best thing to do if that happens is unplug the devices in the outlet and put in a new fuse
What is an object called that melts under high voltage to protect circuits?
A device that melts under high current , not high voltage is a circuit protective fuse. There are many fuses that are rated for voltages in the 10,000 volt range. It is the over current that trips them.
When dangerously high current flows through a thin strip of metal it melts and creates an open circuit and current stops flowing?
It's OK as a statement so the question mark can be deleted. <<>> This type of device is known as a fuse and it is the fuse's link that melts open.
What a safety device that melts if the current is too big?
It is a fuse, a piece of metal wire, usually in a glass tube, that can only just carry the maximum allowed current. A current greater than the maximum allowed will melt the wire.
What happens when a PTC device gets hot?
it melts
