Best Answer

A fuse/switch used in electrical distribution, to protect lines from surges. The fuse melts when surges or overloads pass through it and breaks the circuit. Components down the line from the fuse are then protected from damage.

The fuse is housed in a "c" shaped cut out and falls downward once blown in order to provide a visible indication that the circuit has been broken.

What is the molecular formula of naphthalene?

The molecular formula for naphthalene is C10H8. Naphthalene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compound in which two benzene rings are fused together to form the structure of this compound.


Who is the most powerful ultra man?

it is considered that ultraman king is the most powerful ultraman and ultraman noa as well...but there are very powerful ultraman( considered the strongest) like ultraman legend, ultraman saga, and ultraman mebius infinity( fused with ultraman, ultraseven, ultraman jack, ultraman ace, zoffy, and ultraman taro).and also there is an ancient ultra named ultraman tigaalthough we never saw ultraman tiga real figting skill( the figting skill we seen is demonstrated by his human host,daigo madoka) it is said by ultraman tiga former love ,kamila.. that ultraman tiga real fighting skill was at least twice as powerful as what daigo demonstrated...ultraman tiga can transform into the most powerful ultraman... named Glitter tiga , a gold colored ultraman tiga... this power was given by hope of children around the world to save the world againts ruler of darkness, gatanozoa.(story based form ultraman tiga final episode). another story that ultraman tiga transform into glitter was in movie caleed ultraman tiga final oddysey.... this time tiga transform into full colored gold that given by ancient ultra hope to destroy kamila/demonzoa.ultraman tiga considered to be the most powerful ultraman because his glitter version have unlimited power. one punch of ultraman tiga could throw a gigantic monster like gatanozoa off ground,possibility destroy a normal monster....the newest ultraman, ultraman zero, son of ultraseven is also like very powerful...


Why cant you use a 250 volt fuse on a 480 volt circuit?

The main reason why is that it would be very deceptive to consumers. For example. a 120v circuit that draws one amp; might be able to be converted to 240v that would only draw 1/2 amp. At 480v, that same circuit would only draw 1/4 amp, so you would need to be able to figure out what amperage you need at 480v. Now there is also more to understand with this. A 480v ac system consists of three phases, the most common is 3 phases of 277v. If you measured one phase to ground you would read 277, if you measured phase to phase, you would read 480v. There are also other varaitions including 240v to ground and 480 phase to phase. Depending on the tap off of the transformer you might actually be able to use a 250v fuse on each phase. Since each phase is fused separately, I can guarantee you will never find one that reads 480v to ground. If none of this makes sense, than you should go to the store and purchase the 480v fuse, or call an electrician. Fuses have a small connecting link in them that melts in response to the current. Ratings below 32 volts can use almost any type of metal link in air, and it will safely interrupt the circuit. As the voltage rating goes higher, special exotic properties of metals and filler materials have to be used to safely stop the current. If the fuses does not have the correct properties to stop the current arc, the fuse can explode or become a conductor feeding a short circuit! This could cause switchboard failure or personnal inuries.


What is the difference between solid modelling and surface modelling?

The short easy answer is that with solid modeling, forms are built-up by drawing outlines and protruding them into forms, as well as using other protruded outlines to cut forms. Often these shapes are more geometric overall, and solid modeling is usually used to create the internal details of products. SolidWorks is a solid modeler (but can create surface forms too)Surface modeling develops shapes by stretching a "surface" between 3d curves that you individually create. With it you build forms by creating one small surface at a time, slowly creating the complete shape. The intersections between the surfaces are very controlled so they can be very very smooth or crisp like a crease. Usually the shapes are more freeform and sleeker than an object that was created with solid modeling, but some people are very good and the lines blurrr.. Alias is a surface modeler, but Solidworks can create shapes with surfaces tooolids modeler: Starts with a solid object. You add and subtract other solid objects to it. If you cut into it, you're left with your solid object minus what was cut out--just like in the real-world. It's all very rational.Many solids modelers are "parametric" meaning you can go back and look at the list of commands you've executed since the start of your model (the "construction tree") and change anything (hoping your model doesn't "break.") Very useful!Pro/E and Solidworks are the most popular.Surface modeler: A bunch of infinitely-thin membranes defined by boundary curves. If you want, you can connect one membrane to another, creating a "water-tight" form that looks solid, but if you cut into it, it would be hollow and you'd have to patch the missing cutout piece (intersect tools are typically used to automate this.)Surface modelers generally aren't parametric. There is no construction tree. It's very hard to change something you did and expect the rest of your model to update.Why would you use a surface modeler then? Because it's more freeform, and historically, the tools have allowed you more control over the shapes of those "membranes" than if you were using a solids modeler. And because designers have been attracted to this, the user-interfaces tend to emphasize the freeform more than the solids-modelers, which cater to engineers.Alias and Rhino are the most popular.there are some other differences like parametric history and assemblies as well that make Solidworks a worthwhile software to complement your Alias skills...


How does a computer printer works?

When a text or image is entered into the CPU, it produces a series of varying voltages. This controls a LASER diode in the printer. This emits flashes of light which are directed by a rotating mirror scanning device to the precharged photoconducting drum, when it falls on the precharged photoconducting drum. The area corresponding the text or image will either be neutralized or oppositely charged. A plastic toner powder which has the same charge as the background is sprayed onto it. It only sticks to the text or image and is repelled by the background. A fresh paper is now pressed onto the toner. When the paper leaves the drum it is heated by the fixer so that the toner melts and sticks firmly on the paper.

How can you melt fused silica?

Fused silica has 2 meanings: previously fused silica and presently fused silica. Previously fused silica is fused by heating it to its melting point. This can be done in crucible in a furnace. Presently fused silica is already hot and fused. Note: melted silica is probably a conductor, at least melted glass is a conductor.

What are fused heterocyclic compounds?

Fused heterocylic compounds is a heterocylic compound (eg. Furan) fused with another ring which can be either a carbon ring (benzene) or can be fused with another heterocylic ring(Pyridine,Pyrrole,...etc). Fused heterocyclics can be either 2 fused rings,3 rings or more. From the famous examples on fused heterocylic compounds: -Heroin -Indole -Morphine -Carbazole
