What else can I help you with?
Can you use a 600v fuse in a 120v circut?
No, it is not safe to use a 600V fuse in a 120V circuit. The fuse voltage rating should be equal to or greater than the circuit voltage to ensure proper protection. Using a higher-rated fuse can lead to safety hazards and may not provide adequate protection for the circuit. It is recommended to always use the correct voltage-rated fuse for the circuit.
Can is use a 32v fuse instead of a 125v fuse?
No. If the voltage rating of a fuse is too low for the circuit in which it is fitted then, when the fuse operates (i.e. its link melts), the circuit voltage might maintain the resulting arc within the fuse, and it will fail to protect that circuit.
What fuse would you use if you were fitting a new plug to a 2.5kw heater assume a voltage of 120v?
To calculate the fuse rating needed, use the formula: Fuse rating = (Power of appliance / Voltage of appliance) + 0.25. For the 2.5kW heater at 120V, the calculation is (2500W / 120V) + 0.25 = 20.83A. Therefore, you would use a 20A fuse for the 2.5kW heater at 120V.
A fuse is not used for?
A fuse is not used for increasing electrical current. Fuses are designed to protect electrical circuits by breaking the circuit when there is an overload or short circuit, preventing damage to the circuit and potential fire hazards.

A fuse is used to protect a series circuit?
A fuse can protect the conductors in both a series and parallel circuit.
What is the function of the fuse or circuit breaker in a circuit?
A circuit breaker/fuse is designed to protect the wiring from getting overloaded.
What voltage would you expect in a 120V circuit across an open fuse?
In a 120V circuit with an open fuse, you would expect the voltage across the open fuse to be approximately 120 volts. This is because the open fuse creates a break in the circuit, preventing current from flowing, but the voltage remains present across the open points. The voltage is effectively the same as the supply voltage since there is no current to drop the voltage across the fuse.
What does ctsy-clk mean on fuse box?
It is a circuit fuse in a vehicle. The fuse is used to protect the courtesy/clock circuit.
What does a fuse do?
Fuses protect circuit componentsNothing
What is the role of the fuse?
To protect the rest of the circuit.
How are circuit breaker and fuse alike?
They both (try to) protect the rest of the circuit.
How do you reset the circuit breaker on the cigarette lighter on a 63 ford falcon?
It does not have a circuit breaker. It uses a fuse to protect the circuit. Look for a blown fuse in the fuse panel under the dash on the drivers side.I believe the cigarette lighter circuit is protected with a glass barrel fuse not a circuit breaker. Check the fuse box for a blown fuse.
Why every electric circuit needs a fuse?
The fuse is designed to protect the circuit under fault conditions to aleviate damage
Why do some circuits have a fuse?
To protect the components in the circuit from overcurrents.
What is needed if a certain circuit in a vehicle caught fire due to a short circuit?
This circuit needed to have a fuse installed before the circuit was energized. Now the circuit is going to need new wiring along with a fuse before the system is re energized.
