Can melted plastic hurt you?
Yes, melted plastic can hurt you. The primary danger is from a burn. Melted plastic is hot, and it tends to stick to skin and clothing. It is exceptionally dangerous stuff in that regard.
Why does an Electric circuit breaker have a melted wire?
Wow that is hugely dangerous and a risk of fire. They get hot because you are running a large amperage through them, melting cause it is overloaded. For example. If you had a 20 amp breaker, and 12 gauge wire (20A), and a 15 amp recepticle. Then the most you would want to run on that recepticle is 12 amps continuously, 15 amp peak non continuous. If you replaced the recepticle with a 20 amp recepticle you could run 20 amp peak, or 16 amps continiously. You could not go with a higher amp outlet as the circuit only has 12 gauge wire, and a 20A breaker. If you plugged something with a 30 amp draw into said outlet you would get the outlet hot. find out how many amps you are drawing off the outlet in question, then check the gauge of the wire in the wall, and the rating of the outlet and breaker that outlet is off of. Then we could decide what to do next. Well,Being a Electrician, my advice is if you have to ask question about that call a Electrician IMMEDIATLY!!!!It could be a number of things.A loose wire in the back of plug in,worse yet a broken wire that keeps rubbing together ,(EXTREME FIRE HAZARD)Electricity is nothing to fool with if you are not trained.BE SAFE<SMART.Turn circut breaker OFF.CALL ELECTRICIAN Really,cmon. Residential pulling that much power off ! outlet.....look outside the box!!how old is house would be first question
What material makes glass?
Sand that is melted.
Is it necessary to connect a fuse at the secondary side of a current transformer?
Definitely NOT! An open circuit (across a melted fuse for example) on the secondary side of a current transformer is subject to a dangerously-high voltage, so a fuse must not be fitted. The secondary side of a CT must never be open circuited.
How do you get melted plastic off concrete?
The easiest way to get melted plastic off of concrete is using a heat gun. You can heat it and them absorb with a porous scrap cloth.
Can a melted cup in a dishwasher blow a circuit breaker?
Its not very likely.
Circuit breaker trip cause smoke will homeowner insurance pay for it?
A circuit breaker does not "cause" smoke. A circuit breaker "breaks" a circuit when there is too much current, creating a hazardous condition for the wires that are connected to the circuit breaker. The circuit breaker PROTECTS you from electrical fire. Find the source of the smoke; what burned? If a circuit breaker tripped during the incident, it is usually caused by melting/burning wire insulation, either inside or outside of an appliance. If the insulation inside the walls of your house has burned/melted, it could be that the circuit breaker was too large for the wire or that the circuit breaker failed to shut off at the appropriate current load. If the circuit breaker failed, your insurance should help you. If an appliance overloaded the circuit, your insurance should help you. If someone connected an oversized circuit breaker, causing the wire to overheat, your insurance company may refuse to help you.

Why secondry of current transformer should not be open?
A current transformer will always attempt to push a ratio of the primary current through the secondary. So if there is primary current flowing, and you open circuit the secondary, the CT will attempt to build up voltage to the point where the correct amount of secondary current can flow through the open circuit (meaning you will get an arc). If it succeeds, you'll have a bright light, and some melted copper, and a very startled person who was unfortunate enough to open circuit the CT. This high voltage can also damage or ruin the CT.
Your 1992 fxr was recently converted to points ignition power comes to the coil via 15amp circuit breaker why is your harley melting coils have gone through 2 in the last 3 months no melted wires?
It may be one of the coils that needs to run with a resistor. Check the normal application of that coil. If you need to pick up a resistor to make it run right, it would be a relatively inexpensive repair.
What happens when you replace a melted fuse with a penny?
Replacing a melted fuse with a penny can create a dangerous situation. A penny cannot regulate electrical current like a fuse, leading to overheating and potential electrical fires. Additionally, it bypasses the safety mechanism designed to protect the circuit, increasing the risk of damage to electrical devices or causing a short circuit. This practice is highly unsafe and should never be done.
Can you safely change a 30 amp breaker to 20 amps?
No, this is not a recommended procedure. The breakers main job is to protect the wire that is connected to it. A 20A breaker will have a #12 wire (rated 20A) connected to it. A 30A breaker will have a #10 wire (rated 30A) connected to it. As you can see if you use a 30A breaker on a #12 wire you could overload the wire by 10 amps. I have seen an incident where the insulation has melted off of an overloaded wire, the wire short out and a fire start before the bigger size breaker tripped. DON'T DO IT.
What will happen if you plug in an overheated cord?
Usually the circuit breaker will trip or fuse will blow to open the circuit. There is some chance the if the breaker or fuse is rated too high the wire to the outlet socket could overheat and cause a fire.
Blower won't work on my 1999 Acura TL 3.2?
Probably the blower subwire is melted and burned can be replaced 16$ from the dealer. First check the Fuse for the Blower circuit.
How is mobile phone gold extracted?
The old circuit boards are simply melted in a furnace. The gold and other metals sink, while the plastics and other products float to the top as 'slag'.
Why would your car be driving fine then all electrics start shutting down and car stops while waiting at lights when you have a brand new battery?
Chances are the alternator is defective. a shorted armature, or shorted or burnt out field. Check battery voltage, if suddenly is discharged, this should confirm the a defective alternator or broken alternator belt. Also check for blown fuse or melted fusible link or tripped circuit breaker in starting and charging system.
Is a chocolate bar better for you melted or hard?
Melted
