Fuse wire is made of_____________?
A. 63% tin and 37% lead
B. 63% lead and 37% tin
C. 63% tin and 37% aluminum
D. 63% lead and 37% aluminum
Fuse-wire Is made up of tin-lead alloy (63% tin + 37% lead). It should have low melting point and high resistivity. It is used in series as a safety device in an electric circuit and is designed so as to melt and thereby open the circuit if the current exceeds a predetermined value due to some fault.
