What is a thin metal wire that is designed to melt when the electric current is too large?
A fuse is a thin metal wire that is designed to melt when the electric current is too large, breaking the circuit and preventing damage to other components.
Should use thick or thin wire in an electric fuse?
Every fuse is rated for some certain current. The rating is the maximum currentthat can flow through the fuse before the wire in it gets so hot that it melts andopens the circuit. (In the arcane jargon of the high-tech world of engineering,especially electrical, this event is described by saying that the fuse "blew".)The thinner the wire is, the less current it can conduct before the wire melts.The thicker the wire is, the more current it can carry before the wire melts.So, the wire you select for your fuse completely depends on the current forwhich you want to rate your fuse, and above which you want it to "blow".
What will happen if a thick copper wire is used in fuse?
If a thick copper wire is used in a fuse then by definition of a fuse this device would no longer be defined as a fuse. A fuse in a circuit is used to protect the conductors feeding the load of that circuit. The circuit, if using a thick copper wire in a fuse, would then be considered as a non fused circuit.
Which effect of current does the fuse wire in electric circuits utilize?
The heating effect is used. Normally the current flows through the fuse without undue heating. But if too much current passes through, the fuse will heat and melt, thus stopping the current which could cause a fire if it was not stopped.
Why fuse wires are not used in a circuit containing electric circuit?
The size and composition of fuse wire is designed to "burn through" in an over current situation. That works fine as long as the current is lower than the fused rating. If you were to use the wire in the circuit then all your wire would essentially disintegrate in an over current situation.
How can a fuse prevent electric shocking?
fuse wire overheats and melts in plug and cuts off the supply of electric current.
Why cant an electric fuse be replaced by electric wire?
Because then it wouldn't 'blow' at the prescribed amperage. -A fuse is made with very fine tolerance wire to melt at an EXACT amperage.
A fuse wire is used to?
to prevent an unduly high electric current to pass
What is a thin metal wire that is designed to melt when the electric current is to large?
A fuse.
What is a thin metal wire that is designed to melt when the electric current is too large?
A fuse is a thin metal wire that is designed to melt when the electric current is too large, breaking the circuit and preventing damage to other components.
Why you have no power to electric window switch on 1990 Mazda rx7?
blown wire/fuse
What is fuse 29 on a 2003 navigator?
On a 2003 Lincoln Navigator : Fuse # 29 is a 30 amp mini fuse for the trailer tow electric brake controller , trailer tow 7 wire connector ( electric brake )
'What happens when a live electric wire falls into a river'?
The wire becomes connected to earth. In most situations this would result in a blown fuse.
Why wont electric door mirrors work on Chevy Tahoe?
Check fuse. if that does not work broken wire.
Which alloy is used to make electric fuse?
Solder ( an alloy of Lead and Tin) is used to make fuse wire because of its very low melting point.
What is the advantage of electric fuse in an electric circuit?
A fuse is intended to be a weak link of thin wire that goes in series with a circuit. If the current becomes too high for any reason, the fuse wire melts and cuts off the supply. Without a fuse, the circuit will heat up until something else melts, which might cause a fire. So fuses are necessary to prevent electrical fires.
