Questions and Answers

Fuse is a simplest device, which breaks the circuit under abnormal condition i.e.it interrupts current under fault condition and is not able to make or break the circuit under normal condition. It is used for overload/short circuit protection in medium voltage (up to 33 kV) and low voltage (up to 400 V) installations. Fuses are classified as: 1. Semi enclosed or rewirable type. 2. Totally enclosed or cartridge type. 3. Dropout fuse. 4. Expulsion fuse. 5. H.R.C.fuse (High Rupturing Capacity). 6. Striker fuse. 7. Switch fuse. The important points about ______ fuse are: 1. It protects electrical circuits from overloading or short circuit by interrupting the flow of current.

rewireable

The fuse element is made of a thin wire or metal strip that melts when excessive current flows through it. It can be easily replaced or ______ once the fuse element has melted. It is not suitable for high power circuits.
