yes, but you must derate the voltage as DC arc across blown fuse is not self quenching as is AC arc.

Why link is provided as neutral in an ac circuit?

link is provided in neutral path of ac supply because it should provide a path for unbalanced currents , if we use fuse ,fuse may blow of and damage the entire system and also unbalanced currents may be more than the fuse rating


How does a fuse protect circuits in homes?

a fuse is a metal link calibrated to melt when a larger current than which it was designed to carry is exceeded that way it protects the wiring from catching fire and setting the house on fire always use the right fuse in a circuit


Can you use MCCB instead of fuse in a three phase connection?

Yes, three phase CDP (Central Distribution Panels) all use breakers to distribute the three phase supply voltage to their respective loads.


What happens if you use a fuse that's overrated for voltage but has the correct current rating?

Using a fuse correctly rated for current but "overrated" for voltage does not present a problem. Current ratings are critical safety issues, and fuses should be replaced with those of the same current rating. But using a fuse with an identical current rating but a higher voltage rating is not a problem. The reason for that lies in what the voltage rating of a fuse is. Fuses are given a voltage rating to state a maximum voltage in a circuit that they are designed to protect. And the voltage rating has nothing to do with the "normal" operation of the fuse. The fuse carries current when it operates normally, but when something happens and excessive current flows, the fusible link heats up and opens. This is where the voltage rating comes into play. It is possible that a fuse can arc through when it fails. It is the voltage rating that stands in the way of this. As long as the voltage rating of a circuit is not beyond the voltage rating of the fuse, that fuse will fail safely when it fails. It is acceptable to use a fuse of an equal current rating but a higher voltage rating when replacing a fuse that has failed.

What is exactly the function of Neutral link in an electrical circuit?

To protect a circuit, we use a fuse or circuit breaker. The fuse or circuit breaker must always be placed in the lineconductor, never in the neutral conductor. So, if we want to completely isolate a circuit from the supply, we must remove the fuse from the line conductor, and open the link in the neutral conductor. A 'link' is a non-fusible metal break point in the neutral.


Will a fuse of a higher amperage rating have a higher melting point link?

No, a fuse of a higher amperage rating will not usually have a higher melting point link. The higher amperage fuse will use a wider link or a link of larger diameter.

Can i use a normal fuse if it fits in a 1998 VW Beetle?

Replace a blown fuse with the correct fuse that it calls for. There is a reason the manufacturer put it in there.


What size fuse does a Cobra 21x CB Radio use?

Usually nothing larger than 3 amp fuse. Under normal use 2amp fuse will work perfectly....


What sizes of fuse would you use in different types of household electrical equipment?

First, the answer is going to depend on what electrical supply you have, in particular the supply voltage, and where in the world you are as the rules vary between countries. In England with a 240 volt supply and normal '13 amp' ring mains the following would be normal. For electronic equipment such as a stereo or computer - a 3 amp fuse. Something like an electric drill etc might have a 7 amp fuse Electric fires, electric irons etc usually need a 13 amp fuse. To work out the correct fuse, divide the power rating of the device by the supply voltage, For example. A large TV rated at 350 watts on a 240 volt supply will draw 350 / 240 = about 1.5 amps. The next highest fuse you can buy is 3 amp so use one of those. Never ever use something like a nail in place of a proper fuse, this can cause a fire or death,,,


Is there a fuse in the pwer supply?

No... The power supply is simply a battery in the back of the laptop. But if you use a Desktop it is like any other power source.


Where is the power seat fuse on a 1996 Avalon?

The 1996 Avalon does not use a fuse that is specific to the seat. The car uses the door fuse link for the power seat.


What is the fuse rating of 600watt appliance on a 220 volt supply?

To calculate the fuse rating for a 600 watt appliance on a 220 volt supply, you can use the formula: Fuse rating = (Power/Voltage). In this case, it would be 600 watts / 220 volts, which equals approximately 2.73 amps. Therefore, you would need a 3 amp fuse for the 600 watt appliance on a 220 volt supply.
