What are fuses  and what are they used for?

• They are safety devices that are used to protect home appliances such as televisions, refrigerators, and computers that have been damaged by high voltage.
• A fuse is made of a thin strip or strand of metal, whenever there is a large amount of current or excessive current flowing in an electrical circuit, the fuse melts, opening the circuit and disconnecting it from the power source.
• It also acts as a circuit breaker, a current charger, or a stabilizer that protects the device from damage. Many types, features, and design of fuses are available in the market.
• Their strips consist of aluminium, copper and zinc and are always connected in series with the circuit to protect against surges in the running cables.

Why do we need a fuse?

Fuses are used to prevent household appliances from short circuiting and damage caused by overload or high current and so on.

If we do not use fuses, electrical faults occur in the wires and lead to the burning of wires and electrical appliances and may lead to a house fire.

It may also endanger the lives of televisions, computers, radios, and other household appliances.

When the fuse blows, a sudden spark occurs which may turn your house into sudden darkness by disconnecting the power supply which saves more mishaps.

This is why we need fuses in general to protect our home appliances from harm.

How does Fuse work?

• It works on the principle of heating effect of current.
• It consists of a thin strip or strand of metallic wire with a non-combustible substance.
• This is connected between the ends of the terminals.
• The fuse is always connected in series with the electrical circuit.

When excess current or heat is generated due to heavy current flows in the circuit, the fuse melts due to the low melting point of the element and opens the circuit.

Excessive flow may cause the wire to collapse and stop the flow of current.

The fuse can be replaced or replaced with a new fuse with appropriate ratings.

The smelter can consist of an element such as zinc, copper, silver, or aluminum.

It also acts as a circuit breaker used to break the circuit when a sudden fault occurs in the circuit.

This is not only protective but also used as a safety measure to prevent humans from dangers.

So, this is how the fuse works.

Valve rating

1. Low Voltage (LV) Fuse

• Cartridge-type valves: They are the type of valves in which they have completely enclosed housings and have any metal contact next to them.
  Cartridge type fuse

Cartridge type fuses are of two types:-

Type D Cartridge Fuses:-

• It consists of a cartridge, fuse base, cover and adapter ring.
• The fuse base contains the fuse cover, which is supplied to the fuse element with a cartridge through the adapter ring. The circuit is complete when the end of the cartridge makes contact with the connector.

Bolt-On Type:-

• In this type of fuse, conductive plates are attached to the base of the fuse.

Fuse Type:-

• In this type of fuse, the metal is enclosed with a key and fuse and is largely used for low and medium voltage level.

2. High Voltage (HV) Fuse:-

• High-voltage fuses are used to protect instrument transformers and small transformers.
• It is made of silver, copper and tin.
