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

What is Microprocessor? | Block Diagram of Microprocessor | Application of Microprocessor What is Microprocessor? | Block Diagram of Microprocessor | Application of Microprocessor Basic Detail Of Microprocessor The  microprocessor is a semiconductor device consisting of electronic logic circuits manufactured by using either a large scale(LSI) or very large scale integration(VLSI) technique. The microprocessor is capable of performing computing functions and making decisions to change the sequence of program execution. In large computers, the central processing unit(CPU) performs these computing functions and it is implemented on one or more circuit boards. The microprocessor is in many ways similar to the CPU, however, the microprocessor includes all the logic circuitry(including the control unit)on one chip. The microprocessor consists of the following three segments which is shown in below diagram. Block Diagram of Microproce

What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement

What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement Definition of Instrumentation The technology of using instruments to measure and control the physical and chemical properties of materials is called “ instrumentation ". What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement When the instruments are used for the measurement and control of industrial manufacturing , conversion or treatment processes, the term process instrumentation is applied. When the measuring and controlling instruments are combined so that measurements provide impulses for remote automatic action, the result is called a control system. Modes of Measurement There are the three modes of measurement: 1. Primary Measurement 2. Secondary Measurement 3. Tertiary Measurement All the three modes are described below: (1) Primary Measurements In the primary measurement sought value of a parameter is determined by comparing it directly with reference standar
