Two technicians are discussing fuses. Technician A says that current flow should be 20% less than the fuse rating. Technician B says that an orange blade fuse will have an amperage rating of 9. Which technician is correct? A. Technician B only B. Neither Technician A nor Technician B C. Technician A only D. Both Technician A and Technician B

Respuesta :

Tech  A is correct  --  a wire  should carry 80% or less  of its rating  and fuse size.
An  orange   automotive fuse is rated at 40 amps.

The answer is D. Both Technicians A and B. The fuse rating should be 20% higher than the maximum current in the circuit to provide the best protection for the wiring and the component being protected.

Color stands for max current flow, measured in amperes.
