Why the fuse is placed in live wire only?
So that the live wire is isolated when the fuse blows. If a fuse was placed in the neutral, the equipment would still be live when the fuse blows.
What wire in a circuit should contain the fuse?
The live wire
Should use thick or thin wire in an electric fuse?
Every fuse is rated for some certain current. The rating is the maximum currentthat can flow through the fuse before the wire in it gets so hot that it melts andopens the circuit. (In the arcane jargon of the high-tech world of engineering,especially electrical, this event is described by saying that the fuse "blew".)The thinner the wire is, the less current it can conduct before the wire melts.The thicker the wire is, the more current it can carry before the wire melts.So, the wire you select for your fuse completely depends on the current forwhich you want to rate your fuse, and above which you want it to "blow".
What does fuses and circuit breakers protect the wire or equipment?
A fuse protects a circuit, equipment, or person by being the 'weakest link'. In case of too much current flowing, it opens, breaking the circuit and not allowing electricity to flow. This prevents a continual overcurrent, and associated heat and fire.
What is the colour of the neutral wire in a fuse?
yellow?
Why the fuse is placed in live wire only?
So that the live wire is isolated when the fuse blows. If a fuse was placed in the neutral, the equipment would still be live when the fuse blows.
How do you fix a burned wire that is plugged in at the fuse box under the Bat sign?
To fix a burned wire that is plugged in at the fuse box under the Battery sign, the wire will have to be removed and a new one soldered in place. Before doing this, find the cause or overload that caused this wire to burn in the first place. It could be that a fuse of too high an Amp was placed in the fuse box by mistake.
All lights working except brake lights. Is there a brake light fuse?
There should be a fuse for the brake lights. If the fuse is good always check the ground wire.
What possible places can a fuse be placed in an airsoft gun?
There is only one place on an airsoft gun meant to take a fuse. If you open your battery compartment and pull the wires out you should see a plastic case on the red wire. Just snap this case open and you will see the fuse housed between two female connectors. If you had a soldering iron you could always cut the red wire and put two new female connectors to house a new fuse but this would be pointless.
Why is fuse always placed in the live wire of a circuit?
Purpose of the fuse is to save circuits from the damage due to high current and voltages caused during fault conditions. These faults affects the live wire. So fuses are kept there. Morever other parts such as ground, do not need this protection, since these high voltages gets automatically earthed.
Does negative ground wire have fuse?
NO. Usually the positive wire will have the fuse.
Why is it dangerous to replace a fuse with a wire that bypass the fuse?
Why is it dangerous to replace a fuse with a wire that bypasses the fuse
What is thicker a 8amp fuse wire or a 15amp wire?
The 15 amp fuse.
How do you change wire fuse for circuit breaker?
A circuit breaker does not have a wire fuse in it.
What is the difference between fuse wire and normal wire?
Fuse wire is designed to open under over current conditions. Just like a fuse.
How does a wire connect to a fuse box?
The fuse box is constructed of a rigid plastic. Each individual fuse fits into its own slot. On the bottom side of the fuse slot there are provisions to hold a brass, aluminum, or gold pin. These pins get crimped or soldered onto the end of a wire, are inserted into the fuse panel, and are held in place by various types of "strain relief" usually clamping onto the wire insulation somewhere so no force is placed on the copper wire itself. The fuse fits into this pin tightly to make connection and supply voltage to a circuit. The main power wire to the fuse panel is usually a larger wire - 4-10 gauge and has an eyelet on the end. The eyelet fits over a threaded stud on the side of the fuse panel and supplies voltage to one pin of each fuse or relay.
When installing a CD player in a 1992 Grand Prix SE if the ignition wire isn't working is there a fuse for this and where does this wire lead to?
yes there is a fuse in the fuse box. the wire will lead to it or to the ignition switch. But the fuse to amke the hot wire hot is in the under dash mounted fuse box.
