How to choose a fuse.air conditioner fuse keeps tripping
Firstly, what is a fuse? Fuses are made of low melting point alloys, commonly used as alloys of lead and tin (75% lead and 25% tin), as well as alloys of lead, tin, and lead antimony. Generally, fuses are installed in fuse boxes (fuses) or knife switches and connected in series in the circuit. When the current in the circuit is too high, due to the thermal effect of the current, the fuse first melts and is burned out, causing the circuit to automatically cut off, thereby protecting the safety of the power supply and electrical equipment. The rated current of a fuse (the maximum allowed current) and the fusing current (the minimum current that causes the fuse to blow) are its two important parameters, and its fusing current is generally about twice the rated current. The selection of the rated current of the fuse should be correct, so that it does not blow during normal power consumption of the circuit. In case of severe overload or short circuit, it will immediately blow and automa
