so the electric current flowin threw them doesnt overheat the fuse and open the curcuit.

What happens in a fuse when the current gets too high?
It melts (fuses).
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....
What is the role of a fuse in series with any electrical appliances?
The role of a fuse in series with any electrical appliances is to open the circuit should a current higher that the rating of the wire occur. When a device shorts out to ground there is a very high rush of current trying to return back to the distribution panel. It is comparative to when a welder strikes an arc in welding, the temperature created is enough to melt steel together. If this high current is not stopped in home wiring situations, then the insulation will melt off of the wire feeding the appliance and a fire could break out. The opening of the protective fuse prevents this situation from happening.
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.
Does thickness of wire affect resistance?
yes.it affect.because thick wire cannot hold high resistance of current
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.
Would current of 126 volts be detrimental to your appliances that are rated for 120 volts?
yes, 126 is a little high.. 1 or 2 volts ok
What type of appliances use ally have high power rating?
Appliances for heating purpose have high power ratings.
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.
