If too many electrons go through the circuit too fast (Current measured in Amps) It can burn most things up. The idea is to get the fuse to blow (melt) so nothing else gets damaged. Do not ever wrap a fuse with tinfoil to make it work again. Do not ever put a penny in the fuse box of your house to make it work again. I guess this means someone will do it to be funny.
Yes, the hooter circuit in a car like the Renault Clio typically has a fuse to protect the electrical components in case of a fault. If the hooter is not working, it's a good idea to check the fuse first before investigating other potential issues.
It's best if you just make a policy of never replacing a fuse with anything larger. Engineers have calculated the maximum SAFE circuit draw on an electronic device, and you should not use a fuse that will not provide adequate protection to the circuit. It sounds like .15 amp difference shouldn't cause trouble, but it's not a good idea.
A good old fuse.
It does not have a circuit breaker. It uses a fuse to protect the circuit. Look for a blown fuse in the fuse panel under the dash on the drivers side.I believe the cigarette lighter circuit is protected with a glass barrel fuse not a circuit breaker. Check the fuse box for a blown fuse.
On a 2005 Polaris Ranger, the fuse box is typically located under the hood, near the battery. The circuit breaker is usually mounted on the frame near the battery or under the seat. For specific locations, it's a good idea to consult the owner's manual for detailed diagrams and instructions.
When there is a fuse, yes it is part of a circuit. The fuse is a cheap, replaceable circuit breaker to avoid damage to the circuit components.
The 1993 Dodge Shadow typically uses a regular bayonet fuse for the fuel pump electrical circuit, rather than a fusible link. The fuses are located in the fuse box, which is generally found under the dashboard or in the engine compartment. It's always a good idea to consult the vehicle's owner manual for the specific fuse details and ratings.
a fuse is a way to secure a circuit from owerload, so a fuse is in a way a circuit in a circuit that owerload itself and breake the circuit inside itself to not damege the rest of the circuit. OR some thing conected to that sircuit.
A circuit breaker does not have a wire fuse in it.
circuit breaker, or "resettable fuse", which is a reallya small circuit breaker in the housing of a fuse
A circuit breaker/fuse is designed to protect the wiring from getting overloaded.
An example of a circuit protection device is a fuse. Another example is a circuit breaker.
