2. Automotive fuse - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_fuse

   Automotive fuses are typically housed inside one or more fuse boxes (also called an integrated power module (IPM)) within the vehicle, typically on one side of the engine compartment and/or under the dash near the steering wheel. Some fuses or circuit breakers may nonetheless be placed elsewhere, such as near the cabin fan or air bag controller.

3. Electrical wiring in the United Kingdom - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring_in_the...

   The fuses used in fuseboxes were either of the cartridge type, similar to those found in UK plugs, or replaceable fuse-wire held within two-prong enclosures. Other standard use of fuses include those within appliance plugs, and the main fuse located on the end of the service (supply) cable (at the service head). Breaker (circuit breaker, CB)

4. Fan coil unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_coil_unit

   DC motors allow the speed of the fans within a fan coil unit to be controlled by means of a 0-10 Volt input control signal to the motor/s, the transformers and speed switches associated with AC fan coils are not required. Up to a signal voltage of 2.5 Volts (which may vary with different fan/motor manufacturers) the fan will be in a stopped ...

5. History of AC power plugs and sockets - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_AC_power_plugs...

   Left: Spanish three-pin plug (Eunea 3023-B/Metropoli) and socket (Eunea 3013-B) with removable fuse. Right: adaptor for CEE 7/17 and CEE 7/4 plugs. Some older industrial buildings in Spain used sockets that took a plug rated for higher current and had two flat contacts and a round earth pin, somewhat similar in design to the ones found on ...

6. Power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply

   A fuse contains a short piece of wire which melts if too much current flows. This effectively disconnects the power supply from its load, and the equipment stops working until the problem that caused the overload is identified and the fuse is replaced. Some power supplies use a very thin wire link soldered in place as a fuse. Fuses in power ...

7. AC adapter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_adapter

   [15] Electric fans, lamps, alarms, coffee warmers, battery chargers, and even toys have been designed to tap power from a USB connector. Plug-in adapters equipped with USB receptacles are widely available to convert 120 VAC or 240 VAC power or 12 VDC automotive power to 5 VDC USB power (see photo at right).

8. Twin and earth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_and_earth

   'Twin and Earth' electrical cable to British Standard 6004, with twin 6 mm² conductors and uninsulated 2.5 mm² earth continuity conductor. Twin and earth (often written "T&E" and sometimes "T and E") cable is a colloquial name in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and other countries for a type of flat sheathed fixed mains electricity cable, containing two insulated current-carrying conductors ...

9. Incandescent light bulb - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incandescent_light_bulb

   In most modern incandescent bulbs, part of the wire inside the bulb acts like a fuse: if a broken filament produces an electrical short inside the bulb, the fusible section of wire will melt and cut the current off to prevent damage to the supply lines. A hot glass bulb may fracture on contact with cold objects.
