What would happen if high melting point conductor is used as fuse in household
electric circuits instead of low melting point conductor?
Answers
Answer:
The melting point is mostly regarded from the old days as fundamental information of organic compound, and chemists in all fields are measuring routinely. Along with the development of micro-analysis chemistry, treatable sample amount becomes extremely small, and detailed observations are demanded with regard to behaviors before/after melting points of various substances. In this MP Series, there are several models; high reputable model, MP-S3, which are delivered more than 50,000 units so far; inexpensive and minimum necessity function model, MP-J3; digitalized temperature display model, MP-500P; real-time sample-condition observable model with equipped CCD camera, MP-500MD. In addition, monitoring system with PC is available as MP-1000.
If a high melting point conductor is used as a fuse in household electric circuits instead of a low melting point conductor following would happen-
- A fuse is a device that offers protection in case of an overflow of current in the circuit.
- In such a situation, the fuse melts to break the circuit and prevents short circuits, and fires.
- If a conductor with a high melting point is used in the fuse, it will take a lot of heat to melt and disrupt the circuit.
- This could lead to short circuits, fire, or electrocution.
