This is necessary because a fuse is a protection against an overcurrent; excessive current produce melting.
The metal lead. Solid at room temps, low melting point, good conductor of heat and electricity.
Gallium is a metal with a low melting point of about 29.76°C (85.57°F) and is often used in electronic circuits. Its ability to remain liquid at relatively low temperatures makes it useful for certain applications, including in semiconductors and as a component in various alloys. Additionally, gallium's unique properties allow it to be used in some high-performance electronic devices.
The melting point or boiling point ...................
Certainly not in the case of high-voltage circuit breakers. Probably not in low-voltage circuit breakers, as copper is a better conductor and has a higher melting point.
M effect stands for 'Metcalf' effect after the person who discovered it. It involves the use of a small amount of low-melting point alloy (often solder) fixed to the fuse element (wire or strip). Under low overload conditions the fuse element heats up causing the M-effect alloy to diffuse into the metal of the element, increasing its resistance and hence shortening the time to blow compared to the same element without M-effect. Under high overload conditions the fuse element heats up so quickly that there is no time for diffusion to occur. Surprisingly, fuse designers use this effect as a way of creating a fuse with time-delaycharacteristic, because it allows them to use a thicker wire (or strip) than they would otherwise be able to for a given current rating. It is this thicker material that allows a time-delay fuse to withstand short-duration high- current surges.
low resistivity and low melting point.
Yes they do
Low resistance and low melting point by "justquikr.com"
No, fuse wire is characterized by low resistance and a low melting point. This allows the fuse wire to melt quickly and break the circuit when there is an overload of current, thereby protecting the circuit from damage.
It has high specific resistance and low melting point.........
The fuse needs a low melting point and reletivelyhigh resistance so that it melts at the proper current
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.
Naphthalene has a relatively low melting point of around 80 degrees Celsius.
The material for the fuse wire should have low resistance and a low melting point. Ductility is a incidental factor. As the current flow nears the fuse rating, the high current flow causes the wire to heat up quickly. It then melts, opening (breaking) the circuit. This is how the fuse limits the amount of current that can flow through a circuit.
That depends on the solid: ice has a very low melting point, lard and butter have low melting points, chocolate has a relatively low melting point, wax has an intermediate melting point, lead has a high melting point, iron has a very high melting point, tungsten has an extremely high melting point.
It has a melting point of 113 degrees celieus
zinc, copper, silver, aluminum, alloys or metals that have low melting point
