What is the name of the safety device that melts if the current is too big?
The safety device that melts if the current is too high is called a fuse. A fuse contains a thin metal wire that heats up and eventually melts when excessive current flows through it, breaking the circuit and preventing further electrical damage or fire hazards. Fuses are commonly used in electrical systems to protect appliances and wiring.
In a 1994 Grand Marquis what could cause a failure in the instrument panel lights and tail lights if no fuses or high current fuses or circuit breakers are faulty?
Check the headlight switch and make sure you are getting current out of the switch when you turn on the lights.
What is The front Fog Light Fuses For A 02 Opel Astra?
they protect the Fog electrical circuit from high electric current flow.As fuses protect circuit components from high electricity flowthat cause any circuit component hazard....
Why is the lightning conductor strip very thick?
so it can conduct high current without being damaged.
What does this sentence mean fuses are the police officers of electric current?
Fuses protect an electrical circuit. When current in an electrical circuit becomes dangerously high the fuse will open protecting people and property. Police men/women protect people and property from the dregs of society.
What is an object called that melts under high voltage to protect circuits?
A device that melts under high current , not high voltage is a circuit protective fuse. There are many fuses that are rated for voltages in the 10,000 volt range. It is the over current that trips them.
Why do you have relays?
to control a high-current circuit with a low-current signal for example a starter on a car uses a very high current (not voltage) and needs thick cable to provide it.it would be impractical to run this thick cable up to the ignition key so a lower current from the starter key operates a switch, usually electro magnet, which in turn completes a circuit for the higher current.
What is meant by rapture capacity as in HRC fuses?
HRC stands for 'high rupture capacity'. An alternative abbreviation is 'HBC, meaning 'high breaking capacity. The rupture (or breaking) capacity is a term describing the maximum short-circuit current that the fuse can safely interrupt at its rated voltage. Most fuses will safely interrupt any level of fault current between a current that just causes the fuse to operate (melt), up to their maximum breaking capacity- such fuses are called 'full-range'. HRC fuses usually have strong, ceramic bodies to withstand the huge pressure generated when the fuse has to interrupt a large short-circuit current. In contrast, low breaking capacity fuses have weaker bodies made from materials such as glass.
What type of appliances use ally have high power rating?
Appliances for heating purpose have high power ratings.
Why is primary coil in step up transformer thick?
A step up transformer converts low voltage,high amperage current to a high voltage,low amperage current. It requires large diameter wire to carry the high amperage in the primary coil.
Would current of 126 volts be detrimental to your appliances that are rated for 120 volts?
A current of 126 volts is within the normal fluctuation range of electricity supply and should not harm appliances rated for 120 volts. The appliances are designed to handle a small variation in voltage. However, if the voltage consistently exceeds the rated voltage by a significant amount, it could potentially damage the appliances over time.
What circuit protector?
It is usually classed as a device that will open the circuit if the current in the circuit goes high. Two examples of these types of devices are fuses and circuit breakers.
