what is fuse?

Answer 1

Acts in a fashion similar to the safety pressure device that melts protects the cooker from abnormal pressure.
The fuse wire melts when the current exceeds its withstanding limits,thereby breaks continuity. and stops flow of currrent.

Answer 2

In electronics and electrical engineering a fuse, short for 'fusible link', is a type of overcurrent protection device. It has as its critical component: a metal wire or strip that will melt when heated by a prescribed electric current, opening the circuit of which it is a part, and so protecting the circuit from an overcurrent condition.

A practical fuse was one of the essential features of Edison's electrical power distribution system. An early fuse was said to have successfully protected an Edison installation from tampering by a rival gas-lighting concern.

Properly-selected fuses (or other overcurrent devices) are an essential part of a power distribution system to prevent fire or damage due to overload or short-circuits. Usually the maximum size of the overcurrent device for a circuit is regulated by law. For example, the Canadian Electrical Code, the United States National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), and the UK Wiring Regulations provide limits for overcurrent device ampere rating for a given conductor, insulation material and installation conditions. Local authorities will incorporate these national codes as part of law. An overcurrent device should normally be selected with a rating just over the normal operating current of the downstream wiring or equipment which it is to protect.

The time is right to present cutting-edge evangelism to reach the hearts of our youth on the Westside of Los Angeles. Fuse Fest is going to be held in an outdoor amphitheater-type venue that holds up to 3000 people and promises to be the biggest Westside evangelistic concert of the year! Fuse Fest is about fusing together LA's many worshippers to then reach-out to the community together — just like with nuclear fusion when elements join together to give off huge amounts of energy! We'll have 4 great bands playing: Speakdeep (Pop Rock), 4th Avenue Jones' (Hip Hop), 5 Smooth Stones (Funk/R&B/Pop), Dizmas (Rap Core). We're very excited to see what God has in store for this event! We're promoting to the local high schools, Santa Monica College, and we're asking for support from the local Westside churches. Also, we're asking Christians to pray about bringing an unsaved friend.

Answer 5

In electricity: a device consisting of a wire or a strip of metal designed to melt when excessive current ( i.e. current over and above a pre-determined strength) passes through there by breaking the current carrying circuit to protect the equipment from being damaged or fire being caused.
In explosives: It is a chord impregnated with chemicals so that it burns slowly at a pre-determined rate so as to enable the person lighting it to get away to safety before the explosive explodes

Answer 6

Yes, the fuse protects the circuitry in whatever box it is supposed to protect, but it is also a messenger. It has given its tiny metallic life to send you a message. Only one chance to read the message and understand it. Decoded, the message is: "HEY, there is something wrong in here. And you could replace me with the next larger size and the smoke will tell you exactly what, but why not get smart and open this thing up and do a little troubleshooting."

Answer 7

it is a safety device used in elecrical circuits. When the current flow through the circuits exceeds the limit of current carrying capacity of the fuse element, it blows out and safe guard the machine.In the electrical term it is used for over current protection to the system

Answer 8

fuse a english word

a tube, cord, or the like, filled or saturated with combustible matter, for igniting an explosive.

in a easy word making a thing useless, for example whenever high voltage current is supllied more than a required voltage the small coil like thing wil be spoiled, so that you can save other costly electronics and electrical things and even prevent from elctric shocks,

Answer 9

A fuse is the smallest conductivity in a circuit, produced to burn or melt first in case of an overload, thus protecting the main circuit.

Answer 10

A fuse is a sacrificing agent, it goes of first before any other damage is done especially in electrical appliances, it costs a little to replace and is a damage control measure in high voltage and high electrical current rating
