Copper is used in the contact points in fuse boxes because it will oxidize and you can separate the points of contact. If it was made if iron and rusted, it will 'weld' the link together and then it is no longer a fuse.
Copper-tin alloys, known as bronze, are commonly used in applications that require strength, corrosion resistance, and a pleasing appearance. They are often used in making statues, sculptures, decorative items, musical instruments, and some machine parts. Bronze is also used in the manufacturing of coins and medals due to its durability and aesthetic appeal.
Cooper Bussmann is a brand name for a specific type of fuses. These fuses are used with circuit breakers to ensure that the circuit does not become overloaded, resulting the failure of the circuit.
Copper chloride being a salt is not ductile.
Copper is used in electical equipment and wire as it is a good and cheap conductor
I think copper is cheaper.
Fuses have tinned copper wire* in them.The normal current-carrying capacity of a fuse is determined by the thickness of the wire, as is the final rupture current.Because fuses "melt" like solder, some people think they must contain solder wire, but that is not true.Solder has a lower temperature melting point than either lead or tin but it is not used in fuses because it does not have as good a normal current-carrying capacity as tinned copper.* "Tinned copper wire" means the copper wire has been dipped in a bath of molten tin during its manufacture, leaving a thin coating of tin on the surface of the copper. (The tin is used to help protect the copper from corroding in the atmosphere.)
Copper/brass: Used for bullets and fuses for every bomb and artillery shell (includes naval guns).
No. Parallel circuits are not fuses. Fuses can be used to protect parallel circuits.
Mini fuses
The common metals used in fuse elements are zinc, copper, silver, aluminum, or alloys. Bear in mind that, of them, copper has one of the highest melting points so is only used for specific high temperature fuses. For domestic use the alloy fuse is used.
Amperage is used to rate cartridge fuses.
mine stopped working -- check your fuses (driver side on my geo storm) if the copper connectors inside the fuss are broken, corroded or old--you need new fuses. fuses are cheap at the auto parts store!
your mom first used copper

Iron is more reactive than copper
