AIM : DEMONSTRATION OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF FUSES.
Conclusion : The experiment to demonstrate different type of each type of fuses and Safety device and To Show that each type of fuse is designed to Source Specific propose and is highly effective in its intended application the experiment emphasized.
Question :
Q1] Give the detailed comparison between Fuse and MCB and identify which is better and why?
Ans : A fuse works based on the thermal property of materials conducting electric current. It consists of a metal wire or conductor material which can conduct a predefined amount of current through it. Whenever excessive current flows through the fuse, the conducting material inside it melts down and therefore the current flow through it is interrupted.
MCB(Miniature Circuit Breaker). It is an electromechanical device that works based on the electromagnetic as well as the thermal properties of the electric current. An electromagnetic mechanism present inside the MCB helps it to instantaneously interrupt the current flow during short circuits and the bimetallic strip present in it helps it to interrupt the current flow during overloads.
