Why copper can't be used as fuse wire?
Copper is a metal having high melting point and very low specific resistance. in case of excess current flowing in the circuit it will not be able to melt wire quickly and break the circuit protecting it.
Is copper wire the same as thugsten wire?
No. Copper wire is made of the element copper. Tungsten wire is made of the element tungsten. Copper wire is made to conduct electricity. Tungsten wire is made for the filament in light bulbs as tungsten does not melt under even very high temperatures.
Can you melt a copper wire with a soldering iron?
No, a soldering iron does not produce enough heat to melt a copper wire. Copper has a high melting point of around 1,984°F (1,085°C) while soldering irons typically reach temperatures between 300-900°F (150-480°C). You would need a higher temperature heat source, like a torch, to melt copper.
What has the lowest resistance copper wire or iron wire?
Copper wire. .wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and_conductivity
Is copper wire a pure substance heterogeneous mixture or homogeneous?
copper is an ELEMENT therefore it is not a heterogeneous OR homogeneous mixture.
Why can't copper wire used as a fuse wire?
Metal with a lower melting point is preferred for fuse wire to reduce the risk of fire.
What is inside a fuse?
There's a thin metal wire with a low melting point inside a fuse.It may be a nichrome wire.However copper wire is not suitable to be the thin wire inside a fuse cause it has a very high melting point.
Is there an oven available to melt insulation off of copper wire?
Well insulation has a higher heat tolerance than copper. So melting it would DEFINITELY NOT be the way to go. If you can, snip a piece off and slip the rubber insulation off. If you can't, get a professional. wiring is not something you should play around with. and melting is definitely worse.
What is the melting point of copper sulfate?
1083 degrees Celsius, 1981 degrees Fahrenheit. Note that this is the melting point of pure copper; alloys (such as brass or bronze) will have different melting points.
Does copper wire insulate?
The insulation on a wire is applied after the wire is drawn to size.
Why can not copper wire be used as a fuse wire?
The fuse needs a low melting point and reletivelyhigh resistance so that it melts at the proper current
How do you refine copper wire scraps?
To refine copper wire scrap, you need professional tools and equipment such as copper stripper which is used for removing insulation from copper wire.
Which material is using for fuse wire?
zinc, copper, silver, aluminum, alloys or metals that have low melting point
Is it safe to breathe in the fumes from heated copper wire?
Hot copper wire gives off no fumes.However if you are talking about insulated copper wire, the insulation will give off fumes. Depending on the type of insulation it can be anywhere from totally safe to deadly!
Can I put copper wire without insulation at all?
Yes.
Which physical properties of copper wire are independent of the amount of matter?
Physical properties of copper wire that are independent of the amount of matter include conductivity, resistivity, melting point, and thermal expansion coefficient. These properties remain constant regardless of the quantity of copper wire present.
Can you recycle copper wire?
Yes! It's a metal, so it can be forged into something new. Of course. Copper wire contains copper. You can use a copper wire stripper to remove the insulation and you get copper core or a copper wire gramulator to make them into small copper granules after grinding and separating the insulation.
