Study Notes
Fuses in Brake Lines
- Fuses, also known as safety valves, are crucial components in hydraulic brake systems.
- They act as safeguards to prevent the complete loss of hydraulic fluid in case of a rupture in the brake lines.
- Brake lines are often positioned in vulnerable areas, making them susceptible to damage.
- The presence of fuses ensures that even if a brake line ruptures, the system retains sufficient fluid for at least partial braking functionality.
