Question 20Electricity & Electronics - QMED
70% to passHow are fuses rated?
Avoltage and amperage only
Binterrupting capacity only
Cvoltage, amperage, and interrupting capacity
Damperage only
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) voltage, amperage, and interrupting capacity. Fuses are rated based on three key factors: voltage, amperage, and interrupting capacity. The voltage rating indicates the maximum voltage the fuse can safely handle, the amperage rating specifies the maximum current it can carry, and the interrupting capacity refers to the maximum fault current the fuse can safely interrupt and clear. All three of these ratings are important in properly selecting the appropriate fuse for a given application. The other options, such as voltage and amperage only (A) or amperage only (D), are incomplete and do not fully describe how fuses are comprehensively rated.
