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 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.


Why the fuse wire necessary in a circuit?

It is a safety device. It is not an essential part of the circuit.


How is the fuse connected in the circuit?

The fuses are held by spring metal clips , the clips are themselves being permanently connected to the circuit conductors.


Which device measures current by using the deflections of a coil of wire placed in a permanent magnetic field?

A galvanometer measures current by using the deflections of a coil of wire placed in a permanent magnetic field.


What is a device consisting of a thin wire that melts to break a circuit?

A device consisting of a thin wire that melts to break circuit is a fuse. Once an outlet is giving out more electricity than its used to it melts which stops the current from flowing. The best thing to do if that happens is unplug the devices in the outlet and put in a new fuse


How do you fix a burned wire that is plugged in at the fuse box under the Bat sign?

To fix a burned wire that is plugged in at the fuse box under the Battery sign, the wire will have to be removed and a new one soldered in place. Before doing this, find the cause or overload that caused this wire to burn in the first place. It could be that a fuse of too high an Amp was placed in the fuse box by mistake.


Is a lead wire a device placed on the skin that picks up electrical impulses released by the heart?

No, a lead wire is not a device itself; rather, it is a conductor that connects electrodes to an electrocardiogram (ECG) machine or a pacemaker. The electrodes, which are placed on the skin, detect the electrical impulses released by the heart, and the lead wires transmit these signals to the monitoring device for analysis.


How do you wire power for an additional device through the ignition switch on a 2001 Chevy Tahoe?

There are usually a couple unused "accessory" fuse locations in the fuse block. = will wiring using the "accessory" fuse locations make the power to the device be off when the ignition is off


What is meant by Horn Gap Fuse?

horn gap fuse is a protective device which use to protect the equipment from higher voltage.actually horn fuse or horn gap fuse is a thin wire element as compare to load line when a high current drawn in line the wire is melt and line protect.


How does a fuse break?

A fuse is a piece of wire that has a lower current rating than the rest of the circuit. When power is applied to a wire, it heats up (which is why electrical items get hot with use). The fuse wire melts at a lower temperature than the rest of the circuit - meaning that it breaks before the device is damaged by high current.
