The safety fuse

Article no: P1372200

Principle

Damaged leads or defective electrical equipment can lead to short-circuits. The actual piece of electrical equipment - or more accurately, its resistance - are hereby circumvented. The result is an inadmissibly high current, which can cause a fire to break out because of the resulting excessive heating up of current-carrying parts.

In this experiment, students should learn the principle on which the simplest and oldest safety device, the safety fuse, functions.

Benefits

No additional cable connections between the building blocks needed - clear arragned and quick setup
Contact saftey due to puzzle blocks system
Corrosion-free gold plated contacts
Doubled earning sucess: Electric circuit diagram on top, real components can be seen unterside

Tasks

How can electrical appliances be protected from catching fire when a short-circuit occurs?

Set up a circuit containing a model of a safety fuse and use it to examine the function of an electric fuse.
