A fuse is a safety device
to prevent excess current flowing in an electric circuit. It consists of a thin
metal wire of low resistance and low melting point. When an electrical
appliance or some other piece of electrical equipment becomes faulty, therefore
allowing an excess electric current to flow through its circuit, this causes
the wire inside the fuse to melt and thus break the flow of current.
Fuses, by design are a one-time-use protective
device - once they are used ("burn out"), they're worthless. That is
why homes typically use circuit breakers: a breaker acts similarly to a fuse in
that it opens a circuit when excessive current flows, but - because nothing
actually melts inside it - it can then be reset without having to be replaced
by a new one, as has to be done for a fuse
Fuse is a piece of wire of a
material with a very low melting point. When a high current flows through the
circuit due to or a, the wires gets
heated and melts. As a result, the circuit is broken and current stops flowing
and it’s show by “F”.
Checking
Meter set in X10 then meter one probe is fuse one side & Second probe is second side Connect.Meter show reading it's OK.
