Function fuse (Fuse) as a safety

What is a fuse?, Fuses or fuse is a device that can decide the flow of electricity in the event of short circuit (short) or an excess current (over current) in electrical circuits, or other expenses, such as vehicles, home installation, electronic circuits etc.. There are many types of fuse / fuse yet in common use among the people is the type of fuse glass, made ​​of glass or glass, in which there is a special piece of wire, the wire cross section determines the size of the fuse capacity or flow of electric current fuse capability.

How can fuse to prevent fires .. ?

. When the electrical circuit that we use on vehicles such as cars, motor homes or in electrical circuits and electronic circuits occur short circuit / short-circuit, the electric current flowing in the circuit will be larger, thus causing the cable conductor of heat, if this situation lasts longer, the cable will burn and burn the material that is around a combustible such as wood, paper, plastic, etc..

. With a fuse attached to the electrical circuit, then the fire will be avoided, why?, Because when the short circuit occurs in electrical circuits, then within a trillionth of a second electric current will be cut off quickly, so that the conductor of the cable is not the case of excessive heat and fire were can be avoided. In addition it also serves to secure the fuse electrical circuit or other equipment from the damaging effects of excessive currents.

How to know the capacity of the fuse.

. The capacity of the fuse can be seen on the body, there are listed a number that indicates the capacity of, for example F3A 250V or 250V F5A etc.. This means that the voltage is allowed to flow through the fuse is a maximum of 250 volts and a maximum electric current at 5 amperes, if the electric current and voltage flowing above that value, then the fuse will be disconnected.
