What else can I help you with?
A fuse is used to protect a series circuit?
A fuse can protect the conductors in both a series and parallel circuit.
What does ctsy-clk mean on fuse box?
It is a circuit fuse in a vehicle. The fuse is used to protect the courtesy/clock circuit.
What device is used to protect buildings from electrical fires?
Circuit breaker or a fuse
How fuses and circuit breakers protect against electrocution and household fires?
Fuses and circuit breakers do not protect a person from electrocution. They are in the circuit to protect the feeder conductors from having over current applied to them. The only type of breaker that will protect you from getting a shock is a GFCI.The way that fuses and breakers stop household fires is by opening the fault current on the circuit before the fault temperature can rise high enough to ignite any surrounding combustible materials.
Circuit breakers are used for what?
Circuit breakers prevent excessive current from flowing in the circuit by "tripping" when the current exceeds the circuit breaker rating. This causes the current to be cut off, and is used to protect the wiring as well as the appliances.
Is a circuit breaker better than a glass fuse?
Each device has its own special use. Glass fuses can protect circuit at very low amperages. They are usually used to protect printed circuit boards and control panel circuits. Breakers protect circuits from short circuits and overloads. These devices are used in service distribution panels to protect the wires that feed the loads. Circuit breakers can be from 15 amps up into the thousands of amps.
Could you show me an electrical drawing of a circuit with GFCI protecting a switch?
GFCI's are not used to protect a switch they are used to protect an outlet where something is plugged in.
What is microchip?
A microchip is a small 'chip' of conductive materials used to make a circuit.
What is used in an electrical circuit to prevent a short circuit?
difference between p type and n type semiconducter materialAnswerInsulation is used to prevent a short current. To protect the circuit should a short-circuit fault occur is either a fuse or a circuit breaker.
What is need of capacitor and resistor in circuit?
because without using capacitor or resistor in a circuit,it cant be complete.Resistor is used to protect the circuit by giving a certain amount of voltage.Capacitor is used to charge and discharge purpose.
What are some materials used to test a simple circuit for conductors and insulators?
Battery,Tester
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.
