How Fuse is work??!!


Fuse

What is Fuse??

  • Fuse is a one type of protective device which is used for protecting electrical equipments against short circuit and overloads.

Construction of Fuse 

  • A Fuse is directly connected with equipments to be protected in series, circuit diagram of fuse working is shown in below image.
Circuit diagram of fuse

Working of Fuse


  • In normal working condition fuse carries the load current without overheating.

  • Also, when faulty condition or abnormal condition occurs yhen the excessive current flow through the fuse.

  • When any fault occurs then temperature will be increasing and heat will be produced due to losses or fault.

  • So, At that time the fuse element or fuse wire will be melts due to high temperature and then it will be open the circuit.

  • So, Fuse protects the machines and electrical equipments from damage which will be occured by the high or excessive current.

Note:


  • Fuse always should be connected with the fase wire so under faulty condition. When fuse element melts then phase will not reach at the load.

  • If we connected it with the neutral wire, then the fase current will reach at the load even though fuse melts.

Material used in fuse wire


  • The fuse element or wire material must be low melting point, low cost and low ohmic loss.

  • Tin, lead , zinc, copper, aluminium, silver are the materials used as a fuse element.

Advantages of Electrical Fuse


  • No maintenance requires.
  • So maintenance cost is not required.
  • Pollution free operation occurs.
  • It breaks the electrical circuit without smoke and noise.

Disadvantages of Electrical Fuse


  • Fuse has to need to be replaced after each operation.

Application of Electrical Fuse


  • The most Important application of fuse are given below
  1. To protect the motor
  2. To protect the cables
  3. To protect the semiconductor devices
  4. Home appliances like a freezer, T.V. , etc...

Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino

Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino Introduction To Arduino Arduino is an Italian company that designs and manufactures Open Source Hardware (Microcontroller) and Open Source software or IDE (Integrated Development Environment). Arduino hardware is such a programmable computerized platform, by working on which the user can combine the hardware and software and prepare the electronic brain according to his own and can control the electronic devices from that electronic brain. What is arduino? If you want to understand more easily, then we can say that Arduino microcontroller is an empty brain, in which you can upload memory by coding or programming through arduino software, so these are called open source. Arduino works like a CPU of a board computer. Right now the microcontroller of the arduino of this time that we can take up is lik...

Variable Inductance Transducer | Classification Of Variable Inductance Transducer

Variable Inductance Transducer | Classification Of Variable Inductance Transducer Variable Inductance Transducer | Classification Of Variable Inductance Transducer These are based on a change in the magnetic characteristic of an electrical circuit in response to a measurand which may be displacement, velocity, acceleration etc. Variable inductive transducer may be classified as follows: 1.Self-generating type In this type voltage is generated because of the relative motion between a conductor and a magnetic field. These may be further classified as follows: (A)Electromagnetic type (B)Electrodynamic type (C)Eddy current type 2.Passive type In this type the motion of an object results in change in the inductance of the coils of the transducer. These may be further classified as follows: (A)Variable reluctance (B)Mutual inductance (C)Differential transfer type 1.Self-generating Type (A)Eleotromagnetic t...
