Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Circuit protection devices, such as fuses and circuit breakers, are designed to create an open circuit when an overload occurs, thereby protecting the circuit from damage. Fuses do not automatically reset after the cause of the overload is repaired and an open circuit can cause a blown fuse. Fuses are rated according to their current-carrying capacity, not their voltage limits.
