Question

How does a fuse wire protect an electric circuit?

Answer 1

1. An electrical fuse is an electrical instrument that is used to prevent the damage to an electrical circuit.
2. It is a metal wire of low melting point that breaks due to overheating of wire which is caused by a high voltage to avoid short circuit.
3. Some functions of fuses are termed below-
4. It acts as a hurdle between the human body and the electrical circuit
5. Its fuse avoids short-circuits
6. Prevents harm caused by mismatched loads.
7. It is a metal wire of low melting point that breaks due to overheating of wire which is caused by a high voltage to avoid short circuit.
8. A fuse is a circuit component made of a high-resistance substance that melts when the circuit is overloaded.
9. It is constantly attached to the live wire in order to break the circuit and prevent damage to the connected equipment.
