fuse

Fuse is an electrical device.it used for purpose of protective our electrical circuit or electrical device against over current or harmful current.
Resistance of Fuse wire :

                                    Fuse has low resistance with comparison to the load resistance of the circuit but has high resistance when compared to the wire of same length. Thus when asked weather a fuse has high resistance or low resistance, we should answer that a fuse has high resistance with low melting point.

How do fuses work?

A fuse is exactly the same. It's a thin piece of wire designed to carry a limited electrical current. If you try to pass a higher current through the wire, it'll heat up so much that it burns or melts. When it melts, it breaks the circuit it's fitted to and stops the current flowing. 

What causes a fuse to trip?

The circuit breaker trips when too much electricity flows through it or when it cannot handle the excess current load. This means that the flow of electricity is cut off to keep your circuits from overheating or causing more damage.

Type of fuse
1) Low voltage fuse
2) High voltage fuse

FUSE CHARACTERISTICS: 
                                      This characteristic of a fuse design refers to how rapidly it responds to various current overloads. Fuse characteristics can be classified into three general categories: very fast-acting, fast-acting, or Slo-Blo® Fuse. The distinguishing feature of Slo-Blo®  fuses is that these fuses have additional thermal inertia designed to tolerate normal initial or start-up overload pulses.

 FUSE CONSTRUCTION: 
                                Internal construction may vary depending on ampere rating. Fuse photos in this catalog show typical construction of a particular ampere rating within the fuse series. 

FUSEHOLDERS: 
                      In many applications, fuses are installed in fuseholders. These fuses and their associated fuseholders are not intended for operation as a  “switch” for  turning  power “on”  and “off “

multimeter

What is a digital multimeter? A  digital multimeter  is a test tool used to measure two or more electrical values—principally voltage (volts), current (amps) and resistance (ohms). It is a standard diagnostic tool for technicians in the electrical/electronic industries. Digital multimeters long ago replaced needle-based analog meters due to their ability to measure with greater accuracy, reliability and increased impedance. Fluke introduced its first digital multimeter in 1977. To better  understand  digital  multimeters,  it’s  helpful  to  become  clear  on  the  basics  of electricity.                       After  all,  digital multimeter  always  measure  some  aspect  of  electricity. In  the  case  of electricity,  that  force  might  be  a...

Zoomlion Qy 50v Load chart free pdf download

A Chinese construction machinery manufacturer, having taken on the mission of contributing to our motherland through industry and through the great ambition of "broadening our vision by aiming high" for more than fifty years, we have taken one firm step after another on our way towards allowing "Made in China" to challenge the world standard. With steps restlessly marching forward and with a long, winding path covered by single individual strides for over half a century, each and every footprint made, burdened under heavy loads, demonstrates nothing but the strong demeanor and ambition that a climber shows while looking down upon everything from mountain peak. We have experienced innumerable glorious moments over the past fifty years, such as: showing our strength in the centennial Three Gorges Project, being highly praised for building the Antarctic Scientific Exploration Bases, challenging the extreme construction conditions on the Qinghai-Tibet Platea...

Ammeter

It's Electronic device in which we measure current in amperes (A)in close Circuit. It is connected in series with circuit. The effective resistance of ammeter is low The Resistance of an ammeter is zero. A moving coil of galvanometer is converted in to an ammeter by connected a suitable low resistance in parallel to it. Circuit must be disconnected in order to attach the ammeter. Ammeter considered as less accurate value. Type of ammeter There are 7 type of ammeter. 1.Moving coil  2-Moving magnet  3-Electrodynamic  4-Moving iron  5-Hot wire  6-Digital  7-Integrating Moving coil ammeter:                                   The D'Arsonval galvanometer is a moving coil ammeter. It uses magnetic deflection, where current passing through a coil causes the coil to move in a magnetic field. The modern form of this instrument was devel...
