Car Fuse

I studied about functionality of fuse when i was in Form 5. Fuse will burn out if that amperage is exceeded. My friend was asking me what is the difference for car fuse? In fact all fuses have same functionality. Car fuses are safety devices that protect wiring and components from excessive damage if a short circuit or overload of amperage occurs.

In the process of replacing fuses with the same ampere rating as the dead fuse. A larger ampere rated fuse will not protect the circuit correctly and could cause further damage to the circuit and wiring. A fuse that is too low in amperage will fail if the current flow exceed its rating.

If you want to replace your car fuse, you may purchase spare fuses from any car accessories shop. Buy a few different sizes for spares. Some fuse panels have specific sockets in them for spare fuse storage.
