What happen when a fuse wire of 100 ampere is used when a circuit at home draws a maximum current of 20 ampere?
The fuse or breaker should be no bigger than specified for the wiring and devices on the circuit. Your nominal current draw may be 20 amps, but a short circuit would cause maximum current to flow which in this case would be 100 amps until the fuse blew.
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.
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.
What wire is the fuse always placed in?
The fuse is always placed in the hot wire (usually black in color) in a circuit. This is to protect the circuit from excessive current flow, which could lead to overheating and potentially cause a fire. Placing the fuse in the hot wire allows it to interrupt the circuit in case of a fault.
What happen if fuse is connected to neutral wire?
The fuse will be blown off in case of any fault. But the circuit will not be isolated because of the presence of fuse in nutral line. current will still flow and the line will be so dangerous.
How do you change wire fuse for circuit breaker?
A circuit breaker does not have a wire fuse in it.
Does subwoofer have fuse?
No the subwoofer itself does not contain a fuse. The Amplifier Connected to the sub should consist of a fuse or the power wire leading to the amp should contain one.
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 does the wire from the fuse box to the head light switch burn up?
Check the headlight fuse that's INSIDE the box. If an oversized fuse has been put in the fusebox you will have problems with the wire overheating whenever there is a problem in the circuit. There is a short circuit (wire touching chassis ground) somewhere in the lighting circuit, but the wire is burning because an oversized fuse has been put in the 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.

Why the fuse wire necessary in a circuit?
It is a safety device. It is not an essential part of the circuit.

What is an electrical fuse used for?
It's a safety device put in almost all electrical appliances and in all electrical systems (such as your house, and car). Should there be a power-surge or a short-circuit somewhere in the appliance or system the fuse will "blow" breaking the circuit and stopping the flow of electricity. this is done by having the centre of the fuse contain a wire which can only allow a certain amount of current through, if this current is exceeded, the wire will burn away/melt.
How does a fuse prevent an overlode circuit?
A fuse contains a wire that will melt and break the circuit if too much current flows through it, preventing an overload. When the current exceeds the fuse's rating, the wire melts, interrupting the flow of electricity and protecting the circuit from damage.
