- Hello Sir/Madam , is there anything wrong I did? please guide me if there's any mistake from my side. so I can be careful in future. Thanks William.vic (talk) 18:26, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Sir I wanted ask that as I am expert in fuse and semiconductor protection devices related content, how can I share my insights here ??? because I'm really keen to write and contribute on this platform. I always found Wikipedia as a best solution for my studies and work.
- Thank you very much!!! William.vic (talk) 11:33, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]Hello, William.vic. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template), including links or details of reliable sources that support your suggestions;
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Acroterion (talk) 04:14, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

- A
- fuse
- is an electrical safety device that operates to provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit. Its essential component is a metal wire or strip that melts when too much current flows through it, thereby interrupting the current. It is a sacrificial device; once a fuse has operated, it is an open circuit, and it must be replaced or rewired, depending on type.
- History
- The concept of an electrical fuse originated in the 19th century as electrical circuits began to be used for lighting and other purposes. Thomas Edison patented a fuse wire system for his electrical distribution system in 1890, which was an essential step towards the adoption of electrical fuses in residential and commercial installations (Thomas Edison's Fuse Patent).
- Design and Operation
- Fuses are made in various shapes and sizes to cater to different applications, from small electronic devices to large commercial electrical systems. A typical fuse comprises the following components:
- Metal Fuse Element: Usually made of zinc, copper, silver, aluminum, or alloys to provide specific characteristics. The fuse element is encased in a non-combustible material, typically ceramic or glass, which contains the arc that forms when the fuse element melts.
- End Caps: Attached to both ends of the fuse body, providing a means to connect the fuse into the circuit.
- Body: Provides insulation and holds the fusible link between the end caps.
- When excessive current flows through the fuse, the metal strip melts due to the heat generated by the electrical resistance, interrupting the circuit.
- Types of Fuses
- Fuses can be broadly classified into two types based on their applications:
- Low Voltage Fuses: These are used in household appliances and low voltage electrical systems. They can be further divided into plug fuses, cartridge fuses, and resettable fuses like circuit breakers.
- High Voltage Fuses: Used in the protection of electrical equipment handling higher voltages, such as transformers, and transmission lines.
- Selection Criteria
- Selecting the correct fuse for a circuit is critical for safety and performance. The key parameters include:
- Rated Current: The maximum current that the fuse can carry without interrupting the circuit.
- Breaking Capacity: The maximum current that the fuse can safely interrupt without damage.
- Voltage Rating: The maximum voltage level at which the fuse can operate without risk of arcing or breakdown.
- Safety and Compliance
- Fuses must comply with various national and international standards to ensure safety and reliability. Common standards include IEC 60269 and UL 248 series in the United States. These standards ensure that fuses perform effectively to protect electrical circuits from overcurrents and short circuits (IEC 60269 Standard Overview, UL 248 Series Details).
- Conclusion
- Fuses are a crucial component in electrical safety, providing a simple yet effective means of protecting electrical circuits from excessive currents that can lead to electrical fires and equipment damage.
