Various electrical equipment and their role

Various electrical equipment and their role Fuse plays a major role in maintaining electrical safety. Fuse is a device which give protection against the generation of excess heat because if a power system is over heated it might cause some risk of fire breakout or might damage the equipment beyond repair. The most important components of a fuse is a metal strip which melts when excessive current passes through it and hence interrupting the current flow. Now a day different types of designs with some specific voltage ratings and current are available in the market depending upon the requirement. Different application require different type of fuses. Fuses are also available in multiple sizes and are made of glass, ceramic, plastic, and fibreglass. There are a number of companies which manufactures fuse. Many of those companies are in the business of fuse manufacturing for quite some time now and are known for manufacturing quality products. The well reputed fuse manufacturer make use of state of the art technology to create the best quality equipment. Motor capacitor is another electrical device which alters current to create circulating magnetic field. Motor capacitors are of two types start capacitor and run capacitor. They are generally used in air conditioners, spa pumps, powered gates and large fans. Motor capacitor also includes dual run capacitor. As the name suggest it supports two motors at the same time and are available in various sizes and shapes like oval, circular. Each one of them has their own specific application. A motor capacitor if faulty can cause overheating.

Motor Capacitor

A capacitor has two plates which are electrically insulated from one another stores energy. DC current flows in only one direction and so when the DC capacitor is completely charged, the flow of current stops. This nature of DC capacitors allows the capacitor to block the flow of current. Other than DC capacitors AC capacitors are also available. Electrical equipment manufacturing companies manufacture both these capacitors. They are mad of different elements and each of them has their specific advantages.
