How do you identify electrical overload?
When there is a circuit overload, the circuit breaker will trip and open up, which shuts off the power supply to that circuit, cutting off electricity. This is an excellent […]
Why a fuse wire is always connected in parallel with the main line?
Fuses are always connected in series with the component(s) to be protected from overcurrent, so that when the fuse blows (opens) it will open the entire circuit and stop current […]
Can an outlet go bad without tripping the breaker?
Circuit Overload Sometimes outlets are overburdened with appliances, loaded power strips, etc., and the demand is beyond what the electrical wiring was designed to carry. When this happens, the wiring […]
Can I replace a fuse with a lower amp?
Do not use a fuse with a lower rating— don't put a 20 amp fues in a 30 amp circuit–because it probably will blow prematurely. Conversely replacing a 20-amp fuse […]
What is the uses of MCCB?
MCCB stands for Molded Case Circuit Breaker. It is another type of electrical protection device which is used when load current exceeds the limit of a miniature circuit breaker. The […]
What is MCCB used for?
MCCB stands for Molded Case Circuit Breaker. It is another type of electrical protection device which is used when load current exceeds the limit of a miniature circuit breaker. The […]
What is current limiting circuit?
Limiting circuits are used primarily for wave shaping and circuit-protection applications. By using a diode, a resistor, and sometimes a DC bias voltage, you can build a limiter that will […]
