Watch the full video! AND Always use components within their rated properties! OR ELSE!!

We all know what a fuse is. It's a piece of wire that melts open under high current. Let's not get bar and when it open, it cuts your circuit open and protects your circuit against fire and such. These are short circuits with close to zero volts across them.

Then why the hell do they have voltage ratings? This is rated for 250 volts. It's not like if I place it on a circuit with a 2,000 volt Supply there will be 2,000 volts across this. In fact, let's try it with my high voltage Transformer Don't Here is a 10 Ohm resistor as my circuit series with the fuse connected to the 2,000 volt transformer and so the fuse blows open quickly, protecting my circuit like this. Oh sh ah.

the voltage rating is not about the normal operating mode, it's for when the fuse breaks open and we want it to reliably open. We know a strong high voltage can jump the Gap creating an arc, keeping the circuit closed like we saw.

    I've actually always wondered this. I assumed the amperage rating was all that really mattered. Now I know why the voltage rating is very important.
