copper and tin
Fuse wire is usually made with metal that has a low melting point, e.g. tin, to lessen the risk of fire.
A fuse in its simplest form - is simply a short piece of wire that is weaker than the circuit it is protecting. When the current flowing through the circuit exceeds the fuse rating, the fuse wire melts - breaking the circuit.
Because then it wouldn't 'blow' at the prescribed amperage. -A fuse is made with very fine tolerance wire to melt at an EXACT amperage.
yes very safe.add. Fuse wire is usually made of tin-plated copper. The fuse wire may well get warm in service, and a bare copper wire will gradually oxidize and will fail sooner as a consequence.
NO. Usually the positive wire will have the fuse.
The wire may not melt and break if an unsafe current is produced.
The 15 amp fuse.
A circuit breaker does not have a wire fuse in it.
Fuse wire is designed to open under over current conditions. Just like a fuse.
The wire in a fuse is typically made of a material that has a lower melting point than the surrounding components. When too much current flows through the fuse, the wire heats up and melts, breaking the circuit and protecting the electronics from damage.
Electric fuse wire is not made of a single metal but an alloy made of tin (63 %) & lead (37 %). The cross sectional area determines the melting point at a certain current (amps) and is also rated as volts / rating.
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.
