Why is an electrical fuse required in all electrical appliances? can we use the same fuse in a geyser and a television set?
Answers
A fuse is nothing more than a short length of wire designed to melt and separate in the event of excessive current. Fuses are always connected in series with the component(s) to be protected from overcurrent, so that when the fuse blows (opens) it will open the entire circuit and stop current through the component(s).
Yes, you can use the same fuse in a geyser and a television set?
Answer:
The fuse breaks the circuit if a fault in an appliance causes too much current to flow. This protects the wiring and the appliance if something goes wrong. The fuse contains a peice of wire that melts easily. If a current going through the fuse is too great, the wire heats up until it melts and breaks the circuit. An electric fuse protects the electric appliances from damage.
