Detonating fuses involve the use of electricity for initiating explosions. Nonel propogates a low energy signal along a chemical coating on the inside of a plastic tube to the main charge. Please see the link.

What is the formula to accurately calculate time fuse m700?

M700 fuse has a burn rate of about 40 seconds per foot, but that varies depending on several factors, including humidity, temperature, age of fuse, and specific manufacturing issues. The only safe way to get an accurate prediction of burn rate is to test the fuse. The official procedure for testing burn rate is to cut a 3-foot length of fuse, ignite the fuse, and note the time it takes to burn. Divide the time by three to determine the burn rate per foot. If the time is off more than + or - 5 seconds from the expected 40 seconds, perform another test to verify the results. If you repeat the test three times and your burn times vary by more than 5 seconds, do not use that time fuse, but select a different batch and try the test again. If you have access to Army Field Manual 5-250-1, you can read more about time fuse there.


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


What is the meaning of the number 15 on a fuse or circuit breaker?

This is the amount of current that the wire in the fuse will "fuse" or open. and the Breaker will trip. Having said that, the time it takes to blow will depend on how close to the max the current is. If you put 13 amps on a 15 amp fuse, it will get hot enough to blow eventually. No fuse or breaker should have more than 80% load.


Give one advantage of using a circuit breaker rather than a wire or cartridge fuse?

An electrical breaker is dual function an electrical fuse just has one purpose.


The fuse 13 A in a plug is intended to?

This is intended to protect the flex of a plug. A fuse is a little wire that all of the electricity coming into the appliance flows through. If something goes wrong and the current is higher than it should be, this fuse will overheat and burn out, thus breaking the wire and cutting the flow of electricity. If there was no fuse, the circuit would not be broken, this could overheat the plug and it could possibly catch fire. The 13A means that that fuse is set to 13 Amps of current, If it gets anything over that, the fuse will blow. Depending on the appliance the number will vary. 13A fuses are mostly used in the flexes of an appliance that have a high voltage, such as heating appliances like kettles fan heaters. When choosing a fuse for a plug you must choose a fuse that is higher than the current that the appliance has as current is higher when things are first switched on. If you choose a fuse that is too low for the appliance, the fuse will keep blowing out. Never choose a fuse that is too high for an appliance as this will not blow out if the current is too high.

Can you use different amp fuses than the fuse panel calls for in a 1984 ford F150?

Not recommended


Fuse panel is not marked which fuse is for windows on 95 cutlass?

The power windows are not run with a fuse. They use a circuit breaker. It should still be in the fuse box but will be much larger and look different than the typical fuse. It may be labled "pwr accsy".....or something like that.


Where is the fuse that operates the electric windows on a dodge pickup?

depending on the year there are fuse boxes in different places but it is more than likely above the brake pedal behind the panal below the steering wheel this fuse box has many different fuses you just have to test each one or look in the trucks manuel.


Why does a fuse blow?

A fuse blows when the current draw of the circuit is greater than the capacity of the fuse.


Why don't the tail lights work if the brake lights do?

Tail lights are usually on the same fuse with interior lights and dash lights. That is so you will know when the fuse is blown. Brake lights are usually on a different circuit. If a fuse is blown, try to figure out the cause rather than just replacing the fuse.


You don't have a owners manuel for your ford f-150 4-wheel drive you need the fuse diagram?

yes ,because you will have a fuse linked to more than one different thing and the book will let you know where to look for the fuse, the cover is labeled with numbers only.

Is there more than one fuse panel in the 1988 Ford F-250 pickup?

Yes, the 1988 Ford F-250 pickup typically has more than one fuse panel. There is usually a primary fuse panel located under the dashboard on the driver's side, as well as a secondary fuse panel in the engine compartment. This setup helps manage different electrical systems and circuits in the vehicle. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific locations and functions of each fuse panel.


Does a fuse control the trunk button on a grand marquis?

Depends, if you have the right lugnaut. If the fuse is no thicker than 1 and 7/16 inches, than the trunk button on your car is controlled by a fuse.
