PROTECTIVE DEVICES - PART 1 – FUSES – DIFFERENT TYPES AND WHY WE HAVE THEM - WHY A FUSE BLOWS

This LearnElectrics video was originally intended to be just one short video about all the protective devices together, but I soon realised that there is so much information to get over, that one video on its own just isn’t enough.
Especially if you are new to the trade or, on an apprentice scheme, you need to go through these devices in a way that improves your understanding and skills. Expect to be asked questions and demonstrate your understanding in assessments and exams.

So, this will be part one of a short series and we will start with fuses and work our way through the different protective devices over the next few weeks.

Some frequent comments have included things like …
What is a fuse, what does it do?
What types of fuses are there and are they interchangeable?
And just what is the point of a fuse?
