That is called a fuse.
A fuse is a protective device, which will interrupt the flow of electricity if it is subjected to a current that is greater than its rating.
Some fuses are designed to handle a large inrush of current and are used in circuits such as air conditioners, where a large amount of current is needed at startup, for a short duration and then current drops to a lower level.
These are sometimes called time-lag fuses.
a device protecting conductors or other equipment in a circuit from an overload/overcurrent situation
According to BS7671:2008, Requirements for Electrical Installations, an overcurrent protection device rated at either 30 A or 32 A is required.
No. A relay is an electric switch and a circuit breaker is an overcurrent device.
AND thennnnnnnn, comprate UN relo
If you have a light that is not being powered through a circuit breaker or fuse, you should call a qualified electrician to remove this circuit from the panel's bus and install a circuit breaker for it. Without an overcurrent protective device (circuit breaker or fuse) you have a potential fire hazard.
a device protecting conductors or other equipment in a circuit from an overload/overcurrent situation
breakers and fuses
E a suportação da corrente elétrica, por exemplo: 1 am = 1000ma.AnswerBecause it is an overcurrent protective device -overcurrents are rated in amperes.
According to BS7671:2008, Requirements for Electrical Installations, an overcurrent protection device rated at either 30 A or 32 A is required.
By the rating of the overcurrent device.
A circuit breaker is an overcurrent device that can be reset after it has opened.
'Overcurrent protection devices' are used to protect conductors from excessive current flow... a fuse
A 50 amp breaker is an overcurent device.
No, a fuse will not work successfully if it is connected in parallel with the device it is supposed to protect. Fuses are designed to be connected in series with the device, allowing them to interrupt the current flow when an overcurrent condition occurs. If connected in parallel, the fuse would not experience the same current as the device, and it would not protect it effectively from overcurrent situations.
No. A relay is an electric switch and a circuit breaker is an overcurrent device.
A fuse is the simplest protective device for over current in an electric circuit.
It monitors the general balanced overloading and has current/time settings. This is determined by the overall protective discrimination scheme.
