A: THYRISTOR can be used to clamp damaging energy as opposed to a fuse that must blow open and invariably takes time to blow. A thyristor is much faster and controllable actually if the problem disappear it can be made to open up again and restore power for normal operation.

What is the difference between 125V 15A fuse and 230V 15A fuse?

The voltage rating of a fuse (in this case 125V or 230V) defines the maximum circuit voltage that the fuse is safe to be used on. A fuse with a voltage rating of 125V should not be used in a circuit with a voltage greater than 125V. If a 125V fuse were installed in a 230V circuit and an overload current occurred, the fuse could explode.


What is the difference between relay and fuse?

A relay is a switch; it is not usually meant to open under fault conditions (high current), and would likely fail if done so. A fuse is a fault protection device. If a short circuit develops, large currents will flow, and the fuse link will melt, causing the circuit to open. There are also protective relays, which are devices that sense fault, or other undesireable conditions, and are used to send trip commands to breakers.


How a fuse can provide time delayed protection for normal overload and high speed protection for short circuit?

There are two sections of the fuse; a straight wire section that provides quick acting response to short circuit conditions, and a coiled spring section with a soldered lump with thermal mass that provides time delay for normal overload. When inspecting a blown fuse, you can tell if it was a short or an overload by looking at where the blowout occurred.

What difference does it make when you use the wrong fuse?

Using the correct fuse for the equipment in use is very important as should a fault occur using the wrong fuse could be the difference between a blown fuse or an electrical fire / severe electric shock
