An electrical fuse is not repairable. They have to be replaced with a new one of the same value as the one that is being replaced. Years ago there were one time fuses that had replaceable links that could be changed out if the fuse blew. Safety codes have changed and now these types of fuses are no longer allowed to protect electrical circuits.
It depends on the type of fuse and what it's on. The old style of house fuse was fixed by pulling it out of it's socket and placing wire of the right rating (in amps) across it's contacts.
In modern buildings 'contact breakers' have taken the place of fuses. They are 'fixed' by resetting the switch.
WARNINGS!!! Firstly, don't mess with fuses if you don't know what you're doing! And do not "fix" a fuse or contact breaker until you know what fault caused it to fail and have had that fault corrected. Also do not fix the old style fuse with wrongly rated wire.
If you ignore these warnings you are risking serious consequences, including a house fire
Fuses in cars and electrical or electronic equipment are a totally different matter

Electrical systems are comprised of many components, some of which cost much more to repair than others. If the circuit breaker or electrical panel in your home is old and outdated, it may be a good time to replace this home system. For this particular project, the materials and components needed can be costly. There are several different types of electricians you could hire, which means that costs can differ based on that factor as well. For this, you can contact Mr. Electric of Katy.

There is an in line fuse coming off the battery cable...check this first then check fuse panel inside car. Go to www.autozone.com, enter car info and click on repair manuals and look at the fuse locations under electrical section...good luck
If you have the fuse box cover, it is labelled. Or, you can go to autozone's website, go to repair you will be prompted to give info about your car and your zip code (everything is kept confidential). Click on Repair Information, repair guides, chassis electrical, circuit protection, fuses; the website will bring you to a page that will give you all the information that you will need.
yes very safe.add. Fuse wire is usually made of tin-plated copper. The fuse wire may well get warm in service, and a bare copper wire will gradually oxidize and will fail sooner as a consequence.
A fuse converts electrical energy into thermal energy. When an excessive current passes through a fuse, it causes the fuse wire to heat up and melt, breaking the circuit and preventing damage to other components.
there should be a chart near the fuses that will tell you, if you dont have a chart i would look in your repair manual --- on 97 model its on the back of the fuse cover, so try looking there too.
You can go to http://homerepair.about.com/ . They have a section dedicated to home electrical repair tips and they have a very active user forum. They are also affiliated with the best electrical repair companies in the country.
No, a fuse is a safety device designed to protect an electrical circuit from excessive current by breaking the circuit when the current exceeds a certain level. It is not meant to store electrical charge.
An alternative to using a fuse is to use an electrical circuit breaker.
If the speedometer stopped working on a 1990 Cadillac Seville, it could be the fuse or an electrical problem. First check the fuse and if the fuse is good, check with a mechanic.
To prevent overloading in case of an electrical fault in the equipment.
