By 'fuse', I assume that you are referring to the fuse element (fuse wire), rather than the complete fuse?
A fuse element is an alloy, such as tin and lead. Alloys such as these exhibit what is called 'eutectic' action. This means that the alloy retains the good conductivity (e.g. of the tin), but has a lower melting point (e.g. thanks to the lead).
What else can I help you with?
What type of wire is used in fuse and why?
Fuse wire is usually made with metal that has a low melting point, e.g. tin, to lessen the risk of fire.
Why the fuse is placed in live wire only?
So that the live wire is isolated when the fuse blows. If a fuse was placed in the neutral, the equipment would still be live when the fuse blows.
What are the mixtures in fuse wire?
tin lead alloybasically tin lead allows are used . but other metals which have low melting point and appropriate resistivity can be used
Do you connect a fuse to the live wire or the neutral wire?
A fuse is typically connected to the live wire in a circuit. This is done to protect the circuit from an overload or short circuit, as the fuse will blow or trip and cut off the current flow if there is an issue.
How do you change a in line fuse stereo 4 gauge wire?
To change an in-line fuse in a stereo 4-gauge wire, first disconnect the wire from the power source. Locate the existing fuse holder, open it to access the fuse, replace the fuse with a new one of the same rating, and close the holder securely. Reconnect the wire to the power source and ensure the connection is secure.
What is fuse wire made?
copper and tin
What type of wire is used in fuse and why?
Fuse wire is usually made with metal that has a low melting point, e.g. tin, to lessen the risk of fire.
What is fuse what is it made up of?
A fuse in its simplest form - is simply a short piece of wire that is weaker than the circuit it is protecting. When the current flowing through the circuit exceeds the fuse rating, the fuse wire melts - breaking the circuit.
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.
Is it safe to use copper to repair electrical fuse?
yes very safe.add. Fuse wire is usually made of tin-plated copper. The fuse wire may well get warm in service, and a bare copper wire will gradually oxidize and will fail sooner as a consequence.
Does negative ground wire have fuse?
NO. Usually the positive wire will have the fuse.
Why is it dangerous to replace a fuse with a wire that bypass the fuse?
The wire may not melt and break if an unsafe current is produced.
What is thicker a 8amp fuse wire or a 15amp wire?
The 15 amp fuse.
How do you change wire fuse for circuit breaker?
A circuit breaker does not have a wire fuse in it.
What is the difference between fuse wire and normal wire?
Fuse wire is designed to open under over current conditions. Just like a fuse.
Which metal is used in a fuse wire?
Electric fuse wire is not made of a single metal but an alloy made of tin (63 %) & lead (37 %). The cross sectional area determines the melting point at a certain current (amps) and is also rated as volts / rating.
When installing a CD player in a 1992 Grand Prix SE if the ignition wire isn't working is there a fuse for this and where does this wire lead to?
yes there is a fuse in the fuse box. the wire will lead to it or to the ignition switch. But the fuse to amke the hot wire hot is in the under dash mounted fuse box.
