Is it true that a fuse wire should melt less readily than the wiring in the circuit which it protects?
Yes, it is true that a fuse wire should melt less readily than the wiring in the circuit it protects. The fuse is designed to have a lower melting point than the circuit wires, allowing it to break the circuit in the event of an overload or short circuit. This ensures that the fuse blows to prevent damage to the wiring and reduce the risk of fire or equipment failure. As a result, the fuse acts as a safety mechanism, protecting the entire circuit.
