Safety of Car Electrical System

Cars are objects that full of electronic components. To avoid the danger of shorting, the fuse needed to prevent it. Each car has been equipped with a fuse for securing the electrical system. This device serves to anticipate short-circuit that could have occurred in all the electrical components.

Various devices such as air conditioning, headlights, radiator requires a fuse to the radio. His role is so vital to the danger of shorting can be ignored and certainly avoid the greater threat of fire.

There are 3 types of fuses are often used cars. Namely flat models (blade), bottles (cartridges) and box. For the latter (box), the mechanics are also often refer to as the central fuse.

Generally, the product the car over the year 2000 has been used as fuses standard flat models for small currents. In contrast to the model of the bottle, the fuse as this is more efficient place. So the more compact sized fuse.

While for large currents, manufacturers equip cars with fuse boxes or so-called fusible link. With a thicker element, then the fuse box facing more dependable electrical power current carrying large.

The placement of a fuse is usually localized in several fuse box (junction box) in the car. Each junction box take care of the area, respectively. For components that are in the front area such as headlamp, horn, air conditioning and so on, junction boxnya was in the engine room. While the components that reside in the interior and the stern, the fuse is in the cabin.

Do Not Replace Recklessly
When the fuse broken, junction box has been equipped with a backup fuse to replace. Generally the fuse specifications represent the largest population. Such as 10A, 15A up to 30A.

But if you've never experienced the incident so that the fuse reserves have been used up, then replace the spare fuse should choose the original. If want the aftermarket, choose which brand is guaranteed. For example Wurth products or Hella.

This is important. If the fuse is not good quality, then when a short circuit occurs, the fuse instead of breaking even melted and burned.

Causes Broken Fuse  
There are some things that forced fuse broken. Preferably, before replacing a fuse that break up, you know the first cause. In order to not re-fuse broke or worse damage.

Components that work harder than usual. For example, high beams are used many times.

The connection cable is not taut. when the currents are not ushered constantly, it will be very easy to create heat. If allowed to continue, the connection that this fix will not flammable.

Cord is exposed so that it touches the surface of the plate body. When the wires touched the surface that is capable of delivering an electric current, then it also occurs when a short circuit or short circuit

Choose Lower One
If you are experiencing an emergency situation breaking the fuse and fuse his spare no one in accordance with the specifications. Then the temporary measures by replacing the fuse with a lower amperage. Examples of 20A to 15A.

Because if you replace it with a higher rate, the flow is allowed through by the fuse becomes larger. This potentially makes keruisakan become more severe.
