What is an RCD cut the current to a circuit?
RCD cut the current to the circuit while preventing the electric shock
Why is a thermal switch often included on the control circuit for a glow-coil pilot burner ignition?
Thermal switch is to cut off the pilot ignition circuit when the heater temperature is beyond a set temperature. The thermal switch limits the temperature and protects the heaters
What do circuit breakers and fuses have in common?
Both fuses and circuit breakers cut off a circuit from its power supply when the total current through the circuit exceeds the current rating of the fuse or circuit breaker, usually due to a short to ground or overloading of the circuit. Both use materials that respond to heat.
How does High and Low voltage cut out circuit works if voltage varies?
I assume you mean - 'Why does a circuit fail to work if the operating voltage is too high or too low?' A certain specific voltage is needed to overcome the natural resistance in circuit components. For instance in simple transistors, this is 0.7V to get the transistor to switch on and 1.4V is lost across the switched junction. This is why may circuits operate at above 3V. The rest of the circuit is designed to operate at the specified voltage and if you go too high, too much current will flow through the circuit and it will fail in the same way a fuse will blow if too much current is passed through it.
What usually happens at consumer end when the current carrying capacity of transformer is exceeded?
What should happen is that the circuit-breaker should trip to cut off the current before the transformer becomes damaged by overheating.

air
What is an RCD cut the current to a circuit?

A break in the wires of an electric current will the circuit and the current?
A break in the wires of an electric current will break or cut the circuit and stop the current from flowing.
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.
How do you cut an electric socket safely?
If you are not talking literally about cutting a socket and are referring about the sockets circuit, then all that needs to happen is, a switch needs to be cut into the circuit.
Can a single pole switch replace a starter in a tube light?
No. Starter comes in the circuit initially and then cuts off once the tube is on. If you use the switch, it wont be cut off automatically. If you want to use the switch manually then it technically possible to do so
What is the difference between an open and closed circuit in hydraulic circuit?
In an open circuit, the circuit doesn't power the load because it isn't closed fully. A closed circuit closes properly and can power the load. If you didn't know, the load is the thing your trying to power.
Can a short circuit cause low voltage?
Most likely a short circuit will cause no voltage. Due to the high current on a short circuit fault the over current protection of the circuit will trip. This will cut the voltage supply off completely.
How is an ammeter connected in a circuit?
Series connect it within the line of the circuit for which you are interested in measuring the current flow.More detailSince we measure the flow of current IN the circuit, the ammeter must be connected in series with the part of the circuit for which you are interested in measuring the current flow.One of the ammeter's terminals must be connected to a point of the incoming current flow and its second terminal must be connected to the point of on-going current flow. To do this, cut the relevant circuit wire and connect one terminal of the ammeter to each end of the cut.
How do circuit breakers keep the wires in an electrical circuit from over heating?
Because the amount of heating depends on how much current is in the wires. So you set the CB to cut the current if it exceeds the rated current for that wire.
