What is an electric FUSE , its function , What is PPTC
Fuse is used in electric circuits as safety device . It protects circuits and appliances by stopping the flow of any unduly high electric current . The fuse is placed in series with the device . it consists of a piece of wire made of a metal oran alloy of appropriate melting point , for example aluminium copper iron lead etc . If a current larger than the specified value flow through the circuit , the temperature of the fuse wire increases. this melts the fuse wire and breaks the circuit. The fuse wire is usually encased in a heritage of porcelain or similar material with metal ends . It always connecting in series and made up of metal wire having low melting point . Resistance of a wire depends on lenght of wire , it's crossectional area ,and temperature . Resistance resistance is directly proportional to length of wire and inversely proportional to area of cross section it ...
