What do you call a fuse with two black wires attached?
A fuse with two black wires attached is typically called a "black wire fuse." The black wires serve as the connections for the electrical circuit, with the fuse serving to protect the circuit from overloading or short circuits.
Can you replace a fuse with tin foil?
it will bypass the fuse, which you should never do because instead of the fuse melting the wires in your house or appliance will. It is not difficult to make your own fuses out of various gauges of solder and steel rods for contacts (but this is often more expensive than just buying one).
If a oversized fuse is used instead of correct fuse what could happen to the fuse?
If you oversize a fuse you run the risk of overloading the wires that are part of the circuit you're trying to protect. Once the wires are overloaded, heat is generated and eventually you could have an electrical fire. The oversized fuse would trip at a higher amperage then what is required to properly protect the circuit. Always use the right size fuses or you run the risk of serious damage, injury and even death.
Can you replace an 8amp ceramic fuse with a 10 amp ceramic fuse?
Any electrical engineer, electrician, fireman or anyone else who understands the function of a fuse will advise strongly that you NEVER replace a fuse with one of a higher amperage rating.Fuses protect wires from overheating. The original fuse is matched to the capacity of the wires and other components of a circuit. When a properly matched fuse is replaced with a fuse of larger capacity you place your home, office, automobile or other property in jeopardy. The risk of a fire becomes very high when you use an over-sized fuse.If you have any questions, consult with a competent electrician or electrical engineer.
Is a circuit breaker better than a glass fuse?
Each device has its own special use. Glass fuses can protect circuit at very low amperages. They are usually used to protect printed circuit boards and control panel circuits. Breakers protect circuits from short circuits and overloads. These devices are used in service distribution panels to protect the wires that feed the loads. Circuit breakers can be from 15 amps up into the thousands of amps.

How do you find the fuse line in a house?
If you are looking for the main panel, look for where wires enter the house or where the electric meter is located.
What is the percentage of copper in fuse wires?
The percentage of copper in a fuse wire is very small or non existent. Fuse wire is made from mixing different types of alloys together of aluminum, nickel, iron and chromium. The alloys result in compounds called cronifer and aluchrom. The composition of the different fuse wires results in how the characteristics of the fuse fault current is handled.
Can you replace a fuse with tin foil?

Why is it dangerous to replace a fuse with a wire that bypasses the fuse?
By doing that you defeat the purpose of a fuse. The fuse is there to protect the wiring from an overload or short which could cause the wires to overheat and catch on fire. By replacing the fuse with a wire or fuse that is too large all the protection is gone and your car could catch on fire at any moment.
How does a fuse protect equiptment?
The fuse if not there to protect the equipment. It is there to protect the wiring in the vehicle from overheating and catching on fire.
Where do you find fuse?
It depends on where it is installed. Household fuses are always in the fuse box. When power goes out in your house, you check the fuse box first.
Which metal used in fuse wires?
Apparently mainly tinned copper is used in fuse wires. I have heard that there are a lot of other metals used as teh fuse wire though!
A fuse is used to protect a series circuit?
A fuse can protect the conductors in both a series and parallel circuit.
How does circuit breaker or fuse protect the house from fire?
The fuse is matched to the size wire in the circuit the breaker/fuse it is protecting. For instance, a 20 amp breaker/fuse is used in combination with AWG 12/2 wire. A 15 amp breaker/fuse would be used with AWG 14/2 wire. If there is too much current flow in the circuit caused by either overloading the circuit or by a short in the wires the wiring would overheat and catch fire if not for the breaker/fuse. The breaker/fuse is designed to detect this and to trip or blow and shut off all power flowing to that circuit and prevent a fire. This is why you should never install the wrong size fuse. Put a 20 amp fuse on a 15 amp circuit and it would not protect the circuit as it should.
How do you fix the interior light on a Honda Civic CX?
new bulb, check fuse. i can't see any wires to that light just becoming faulty so... try those two.
Where is the fuse for an HVAC air blower?
the fuse should be on the board with all the wires going to it
