Question

what is a fuse? what is the benifit of a fuse? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

What is fuse:

A fuse is a safety device in an electric plug or circuit. It contains a piece of wire which melts when there is a fault so that the flow of electricity stops. ... When things fuse or are fused, they join together physically or chemically, usually to become one thing.

Benifit:

• Fuse is cheapest type of protection in an electrical circuit

• Fuse needs zero maintenance

• Operation of fuse is simple and no complexity is involved

• Fuse has the ability to interrupt enormous short circuit current without producing noise, flame, gas or smoke

• The operation time of fuse can be made much smaller than operation of circuit breaker. It is the primary protection device against short circuits

• It affords current limiting effect under short-circuit conditions

• Fuse inverse time current characteristic has the ability to use for over-load protection

Answer 2

Answer:

A fuse is an electric safety device present in the circuit or electric plug.  

Explanation:

Benefits of fuse:

Fuse is an cheapest safety device in an electrical circuit.

It consists of an essential component that is strip or metal wire, it starts melting when too much of electricity is passing though the conductor, it helps in stopping or to interrupt the current.
