Q:1993 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon

Did you check the fuse in the back of it? and have you checked all the good connections? Sometimes components just die especially cheap ones.

Q:I want to put in a 60 amp fusethe wiring is only running a short distance. I know that I need to use #6 gauge wiring between the fuse and the electrical componentdo I need to use #6 gauge for the supply side too??

You should never up size your wire downstream of where your main panel is, which is what I am guessing that you want do. Let's say you are trying to feed a piece of equipment that requires 60A protection but you plan on feeding it with an existing, smaller wire that is not rated for that amount of current (say a #8 or #10 gauge wire) then you are asking for trouble in the long run. Having too much current running in that existing wire will eventually cause heating problems on that wire. This WILL eventually break down the existing insulation on the wire and cause a fire. Also, if the existing wire is fed from a circuit breaker or fuse that is rated less than 60A (for example a 30A breaker) then you will always trip the circuit at the panel if your new piece of equipment draws above 30A which makes your 60A fuse useless and superfluous. Please be safeuse #6 on both sides of your fuse and make sure that your circuit breaker or fuse at the panel from where you are getting your juice is also rated for 60A or above. Hope this helps!

Q:Hi guys, I just Blew my guitar amplifer fuse.because it was a unit from the US and Accidentally got the wrong converter here in Shanghai. It so hard looking for a fuse that has the EXACT inscription 2A 250Vall I can find is 2AL 250 Vis this the same type? And do you think the power outage could do some damgae to the amplifier components even after blowing the fuse? I used some emergency fuse to test.so far its working and there are signs of life from this babyany suggestions?perhaps Im jsut being too paranoid and OC?

F2A250v should be same as F2AL250v since 2A is 2ampere while 250 v is 250volts is supply volts. L seems to be line voltage, which is same as supply or line voltage. Therefore it should be the same.

Q:Basicly I took my car to a mechanic to get a new clutch. I know that they took the battery out in order to do the job. Soon after I got my car back the subs stopped working. I took alook at all the audio components and wiring earlier today and notice that the fuse sized 40 was blown. I am talking about the fuse right next to the battery leading to the amp. I replaced it but it blew out shortly after again. The mechanic said its not his problem and now I am on here on yahoo looking for a solution. Can some one tell me were I should start looking. Thank you very much!

turn the gain on the amp all the way down before you turn it on. then start the car and see if fuse still blows. if not, slowly turn the gain back up to a reasonable level.

Q:i want use fuse 1A in my power supply circuit.i have never used a fuse before.so can anyone tell me how to use it and how should i place it in the circuit?

Fuse should be placed first in line of the hot legclosest to the power source.

Q:I have an old Lennox unit. The AC still runs fine. Heater quit on me back in March. not sure if the elements or what. winter coming soon and need to get this up and running again

I would first check the fuses, Had this problem once and found fuse blown, replaced and had not trouble for 2 years. Fuses in the panel were fast acting type, replaced with slo-blow fuses. You can buy you a multimeter for about $8.00 at many discount and hardware stores. Turn off the power to the unit, Place the multimeter to AC volts 500V scale and check to make sure you have no voltage on either side of fuses. Remove fuses one at time and check on ohms X 1 scale. You should have around 0 to 50 Ohms on meter, If you have infinity replace fuse or fuses and try. Would make sure to use slo-blo fuses, Much more expensive but will save money in long run. If fuse blows again probably bad element

Q:Every time I hook my hot to the amp it starts glowing and smoking. I tried changing from a 20 fuse to a 30 and it still glows and smokes.

I concur with Aero

Q:Fuses are good. The Cig lighter also lost power. Even the clock will not display unless the parking and headlights are on. It all seems to be concentrated in the center console (except for the int. wiper.) This all happened at the same time.

Vasek, you could bend backward previously an vertical reflect along with your lettered Tshirt (or placed a e book in the front of it) and nonetheless the textual content will be flipped horizontally. have you ever considered why in a concave (round )reflect (at the same time with a spoon) up is down, ideal is left and left is ideal. Edit: expensive Vasec, Trak's answer inspired me and has made me chuckle, a lot for conservation or vertical axis. yet i'm positive that Scythian meant properly by pointing so that you could target to forget all preconcieved understanding of categorized guidelines and picture out of the field. even with the reality that the way he has expressed it would want to seem slightly harsh. Use your mind's eye, make your reflect slowly become concave, and flat back, and concave back. take it in outer area in case you opt for to, there are not any limits in imaginary land! imagine that you're one unmarried asymetrical letter in area searching on the reflect, rotate the reflect about its middle in an x,y and z axis even as the reflect continues to be in a in no way ending round mutation transition from flat to round to flat Oops, I meant rotate your self (as an asymetrical letter) in the front of the ever replacing reflect. imagine that you will see the reflect photo from each perspective in which you rotate. sturdy success! have exciting) Sleep properly xx

Q:I have a circuit keep blowing fuse(0.4A) with slightly lower rating of my transformer (0.5A) without any load, so i think is the issue of in-rush current. ***Note : my transformer is toroidal, saw a lot of website saying they inhibit higher inrush voltage (80times. scary)***Will the in-rush current will do any harm or any changes to other things(component) ?If so, what type or rating of fuse should i get ? (best if easily get, market available)ORis there any way to de-energize the transformer when it is turned off/before switch on, or any circuit to use for protect over-current/voltage during inrush ONLY ***Note that i want to make my circuit fuse safe from short circuit and blow the fuse if it is really short circuit***

What is the rating of the transformer, Input voltage, output voltage and output current? By 0.5 amps do you mean the input current of the transformer, because this would be the loaded current of the transformer.The transformer should not be blowing a fuse unloaded, transformers have a magnetizing current not an inrush current The magnetizing current is due to the inductance of the primary winding. Transformers act as coupled inductors and since the secondary is open the only load on the input fuse should be the small magnetizing current. I am guessing you might have a shorted winding.

Q:I like gardening and growing flowers and plants, but I need to save up money in this crisis ya know, and good ol? regular planters are just too expensive. I have all this old equipment piling up and making mess on my back yard. a tv screen from the 1980?s. a computer screen from the 90?s an old vcr that must be just as old, etc etc.and they?re all just sitting there waiting for kingdom come. So I figured Hey why not make a planter out of the whole lot o?them! maybe just the tv screen. Does anybody have any experience with odd planters? I just do it like I would do it with any regular planter?

Just make sure to remove any electronic components. IE: wires, fuses, motherboards. Then you can either remove the screen and use that for the top, or you can make a hole in the top and use that.
