Question

A 40 amp fuse carries a temporary 9 % current overload. How many

Answer 1

Answer:

43.6 amp

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A 40 amp fuse carries a temporary 9 % current overload.

9% current overload means that whatever will be the normal current carrying capacity of fuse, during overload it carries 9% more than that.

Current carrying capacity of fuse is 40 amp.

during overload it carries 9% more

over load current = 9% of 40 amp  = 9/100 *40 = 3.6 amp

total current flowing through fuse during overload = 40 amp + 3.6 amp

                                           = 43.6 amp (answer)
