To change the wire in a rewirable fuse, you typically follow a few key steps involving the fuse holder and the wire element. Based on the process described in the reference, changing a wire fuse involves replacing the old, broken wire with a new piece cut to the correct length.
Replacing the Fuse Wire
Changing the wire in a rewirable fuse requires careful handling of the fuse carrier. The process focuses on replacing the thin wire that melts when overloaded, protecting the circuit.
Here are the steps involved in changing a wire fuse, as outlined in the reference:
- Loosen the terminal screws: The first step is to loosen the screws that hold the fuse wire in place on the fuse carrier.
- Remove the old and broken wire: Once the screws are loose, the old or broken fuse wire is removed from the terminals.
- Cut and wrap the new fuse wire: Cut a new piece of fuse wire to a length that allows it to be securely wrapped around both terminal screws.
Following these steps allows you to replace the faulty wire element in the fuse carrier, restoring the function of the fuse.
