Question

• What is high melting point and average melting point of a wire?
• A fuse wire has which type of melting point?

Answer 1

High melting point of a substance means that there will be more heat required to melt a particular substance from solid to liquid state. There are many elements that have high melting point.Example: for metals, we can say , more than 700° could be considered high melting point. for plastic , we can say, more than 250° could be consedidered high melting point. Its a statement which is more qualitative rather than quantative. ... Some heating machine can melt this metal according to its high melting point.

The material used for making fuseelement has a low melting point
