It's a safety device put in almost all electrical appliances and in all electrical systems (such as your house, and car). Should there be a power-surge or a short-circuit somewhere in the appliance or system the fuse will "blow" breaking the circuit and stopping the flow of electricity. this is done by having the centre of the fuse contain a wire which can only allow a certain amount of current through, if this current is exceeded, the wire will burn away/melt.
What else can I help you with?
A fuse is not used for?
A fuse is not used for increasing electrical current. Fuses are designed to protect electrical circuits by breaking the circuit when there is an overload or short circuit, preventing damage to the circuit and potential fire hazards.
What is a device used to keep electrical circuits from overheating?
A fuse.
Can a fuse be used to store and electrical charge?
No, a fuse is a safety device designed to protect an electrical circuit from excessive current by breaking the circuit when the current exceeds a certain level. It is not meant to store electrical charge.
What device is used to protect buildings from electrical fires?
Circuit breaker or a fuse
Why a fuse of high voltage is used for electrical appliances of less voltages in comparison to fuse?
for those appliances do not break immediately...........
Is fuse box one word or two when talking about an electrical panel?
When talking about power distribution in regards to the electrical trade, fuse box is used as two words. Another term used is distribution panel, again two words.
What device is used as a form of safety device in an electrical circuit?
A fuse or circuit breaker will fit this description.
What is the function of the fuse button in a microscope for?
There is a fuse insertion site and a power button, but no fuse button. The fuse insertion site looks vaguely like a button, but is actually a cap to cover the fuse. Unscrew this cap to replace the fuse. The power button is used to turn on the microscope.
How does a fuse power a electrical plug?
A fuse doesn't 'power' an electrical plug. A fuse protects the load supplied by that plug.
What is the role of fuse used in series with any electrical appliances?
to create a short circuite
Why fuse is used in transmission line?
yes its used in transmission line.fuse normally used in peravitiu in all electrical systeam
What does fuse tester do?
A fuse tester is a device used to check the functionality of fuses in electrical circuits. It determines whether a fuse is intact or blown by applying a small voltage across the fuse. If the fuse is good, it allows current to flow; if it’s blown, the tester will indicate a failure, helping to identify electrical issues quickly and efficiently. This tool is essential for ensuring safety and proper functioning in electrical systems.
