Question:

Can the fuse be replaced by copper wire directly?

Can the fuse be replaced by copper wire directly?

Answer:

Can temporarily replace, but not long time.
The fuse is the use of this kind of low melting point of tin metal, is because it can be used to electrical equipment and electrical circuit protection, when the excessive current load, may damage the circuit. But if the tin fuse, low melting point, when the current is too large when the fuse, can protect electrical appliances.
The copper melting point is far higher than the current is still not large tin, fuse, electrical damage. If you can't find it for the time being, you can use copper wire instead of it, but change it as soon as possible after you find it.
You can do a temporary emergency, long-term overload can not be used, there will be security risks, easy to cause a short circuit fire fuse is the use of this kind of low melting point of tin metal, is because it can be used to electrical equipment and electrical circuit protection, when the excessive current load, may damage the circuit.
