fuses blow because their amperage is exceeded. you have a short somewhere, or the coil on the ac compressor is drawing too much current. DO NOT PUT A HIGHER RATED FUSE IN PLACE OF THE OLD ONE!!!!!!!!!!! that will cause more problems (such as a fire) is you have a wiring schematic, you can unplug all items less one, and try that until the fuse blows. you can also try to splice in fuses (of the correct amperage) in various points in the circuit if the wiring is hard to trace.

What has replaced fuses in the main fuse box in a house?

Circuit breakers have replaced fuses in many modern homes. Circuit breakers offer better protection against overloads and short circuits, and they can be reset rather than needing to be replaced like fuses.


If the rheostats are replaced by three incandescent lamps can you verify the thevenin's theorem?

Yes, if the rheostats are replaced by three incandescent lamps, you can still verify Thevenin's theorem. Thevenin's theorem states that any linear circuit can be replaced by an equivalent circuit consisting of a voltage source and a series resistor. By analyzing the behavior of the circuit with the incandescent lamps, you can determine the Thevenin equivalent circuit and verify the theorem.


Why would a circuit not work when a wire is replaced with cotton string?

Cotton string does not conduct electricity, so replacing a wire with cotton string will break the electrical connection in the circuit. This will prevent the flow of electricity necessary for the circuit to work properly. It's important to use materials that conduct electricity, like wire, to maintain the circuit's functionality.


If a copper wire in a working electric circuit is replaced by a piece of rubber tubing will there be a current in the circuit?

No, a rubber tubing is an insulator and will not allow the flow of electric current like a conductor such as copper wire would. Therefore, if the copper wire is replaced by rubber tubing, the circuit will be broken and no current will flow.


What happens to the current in a circuit if a 1.5 volt battery is removed and is replaced by a 9 volt battery?

If a 1.5 volt battery is replaced by a 9 volt battery in a circuit, the current flowing through the circuit will likely increase. This is because the higher voltage of the 9 volt battery will provide more electromotive force, pushing more current through the circuit, assuming the resistance remains the same.

Is it true or false that a circuit breaker must be replaced after a short circuit occurs?

A circuit breaker must be reset to ON after a short circuit but does not need to be replaced. It depends on the type of CB. A fuse is also a circuit breaker and it needs to be replaced after a short circuit. Relayed circuit breakers have to be "picked up" after a dropout and need not be replaced as such.

What is wrong with your air conditioner if the fan is blowing but the compressor is not working?

It is possible that the circuit breaker for the compressor unit is thrown (switched to "off"). Go outside to the compressor unit and follow the big cable up to the circuit breaker panel on the wall. If it is off, throw the switch to "on." If that is not the problem, something is probably wrong with the compressor unit. Turn off the breaker panel and call a repairman.

How can you test a compressor to see if it has shorted?

You would need to put an amp-meter on the circuit to see what the current draw is like. ====== If the compressor is shorted to ground you cannot check the amp draw because it will constantly kill the circuit breaker. A better way to go would be to check the continuity of the compressor to ground and each winding.


What happens in a series circuit if one of the resistors is replaced with a resistor having a lower resistance value?

In a series circuit, if one resistor is replaced with a resistor of lower resistance, the total resistance in the circuit decreases. This leads to an increase in the overall current flowing through the circuit.
