Best Answer

A fuse (old technology), a circuit breaker, a ground fault interrupter (GFI), and a surge protector designed to shunt surges such as lightning strikes to ground. GFI outlets are required when located near Plumbing. Whole house surge protectors are available and, even though expensive, can keep a lightning strike from frying a houseful of electronics.

Circuit protection equipment is used to limit an over the set point current being applied to the circuit and thereby protecting the

electrical circuit.

Does an electric circuit have a beaker?

Electric circuit need a main circuit breaker that can protect the whole circuit from short circuit even in ground fault. It's safer if you use breaker with built in ground protection.


Why you use cartridge fuse in control circuit of motor?

It is proper "control sense" to fuse the control circuit. It does not have to be just a cartridge fuse, in many cases it is a breaker. Depending on where the control voltage is obtained from, transformer from the incoming motor feed, separate source, or line voltage, there is always a chance that a component of the control circuit could fail, circuit protection would lessen the damage to other equipment in the control circuit. The fuse should be sized as close to the control current as possible.


What equipment do you use in a neutralization reaction?

A Berzelius beaker, pipettes, bottles for an acid and for an alkali; recommended gloves and protection eyeglasses.


Can i use 240 volt 50 watt instead of 240volt 35 watt bulbs?

That depends on the wiring, the light socket, switch(es) and any other equipment in the circuit. You should never use a bulb that is larger than the original circuit was designed for.


Can you use 70amp breaker for 40amp device?

The purpose of a circuit breaker in a panel is to protect the wiring and devices like switches, outlets and other devices that are part of that circuit. It isn't unusual to plug in an appliance into a circuit whose amperage rating is less than the breaker protection. If such an appliance doesn't have its own over-current protection it may well "fry" in an over current situation. However, if your 40 Amp device is directly connect to the 70 A circuit and has no over-current protection on its own you are risking a serious problem. If your 40 A device is on this dedicated circuit you should protect it with a properly sized breaker.

What is the function of circuit breakers and fuses?

Protection. They shut off the power to protect the equipment circuits, the main circuits and people.


What is the use of conductance?

When referring to electrical conductance, it is used in the application of electricity to equipment. Electrical conductance measures the equipment's ability to conduct electrical charge. A practical application would be to decrease the resistance in an electrical circuit so that the conductance is higher and electricity flows more smoothly.

Can you use a 91ohm resistor in place of 100ohm resistor?

It depends on where you are going to use this resistor and what its application going to be. If the circuit you are using can tolerate this then you are fine.
