The main factor of a fuse is that it disconnects the supply voltage immediately from a fault load with out the current flashing over fuse link gap and have a continuation of a current flow. ON HRC fused this is done with silica sand. The fault current gets so high that it melts the sand into glass. Glass is an excellent insulator. The fault current is stopped immediately.

What is meant by the term fusing factor?
Fusing factor is the ratio of a fuse's minimum fusing current (the smallest current that will cause the fuse to melt) and the nominal rated current (usually the number in Amps marked on the fuse body).
What factor in a circuit leads to electricity producing light?
fuse.
Can a 250V 2.5A fuse replace a 125V 2.5A fuse?
Yes, a 250V fuse can replace a 125V fuse if they have the same ampacity rating. The voltage rating is simply the maximum voltage that the fuse is capable of safely interrupting. You can go higher, but you can not go lower. Obviously, the form factor of the fuse must be the same, but that is often the case.
Fusing current capacity depend which factors?
Fusing currents is combining two or more wires together to join the currents. A critical factor is the temperature of the wire.
Chrysler 300 alarm fuse?
The factor alarm does not work off of one fuse. The pcm and bcm are both part of the alarm. If you pulled those fuses the engine and all interior items would be dead.
Can you use a 5A 125V fuse to replace a 4A 125V fuse?
It is always best to replace with equal or higher rating. However, there may be applications where it would be fine, such as a low voltage circuit.
What does AGX 30 32V mean on a Buss fuse?
<p>A fuse made by Bussmann of the AGX series. Form factor is 8AG (round, 1/4"x1" / 6x25 mm). It features a breaking capacity of 30 Ampere and a max. voltage of 32V<p>
Where is the factor set code for the keyless door entry located on a 2011 Ford Fusion?
it is located on the fuse box under the dash..it's a five digit code
Does the material used for a fuse wire need to have a low or a high melting point - a low or high ductility - a low or high resistivity?
The material for the fuse wire should have low resistance and a low melting point. Ductility is a incidental factor. As the current flow nears the fuse rating, the high current flow causes the wire to heat up quickly. It then melts, opening (breaking) the circuit. This is how the fuse limits the amount of current that can flow through a circuit.
What makes a CDI box go bad?
Age is one factor, electronics such as printed circuit boards deteriorate with age. Another factor is malfunction of the cut-out or electric regulator. Too much and too high current from the regulator will burn the CDI out in seconds if a fuse does not go first.
What are the disadvantages of using a circuit breaker instead of a fuse?
Cost is one factor but, when making a choice whether to use a circuit beraker instead of a fuse, or vice versa, there are many other technical and operational differences which have to be considered, including physical size.For more information see the answer to the Related Questionshown below.
