A fuse has blown.

The fuse has blown.

The short circuit blew a fuse.

We must've blown a fuse.

We've probably blown a fuse.

This system has a safety lock.

We have A.C. and D.C., get 12 volts D.C., so that could be used for certain applications.

Electric current is measured in amps.

Tom overloaded his power board and blew a fuse.

Noise is produced by the sudden flow of current into a solenoid.

Electricity from the power company is delivered as alternating current.

We have an inverter in there, so you get 117 volts A.C.

The term on the right is the divergence of the current density .

An ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure the electric current in a circuit.

In it, he showed the equivalence of electrical currents to magnets and proposed that magnetism is due to perpetually flowing loops of current instead of the dipoles of magnetic charge in Poisson's model.

Local systems in one building could be connected to local low voltage DC or 230V AC grids to improve the security of supply.

If too much current is flowing, the intelligent receptacle turns itself off, and prevents another fire from starting.

Their purpose is to measure the illumination level in the interior and to switch off or reduce the output level of luminaires.

In 1919, alternating current welding was invented by C. J. Holslag but did not become popular for another decade.

China s government should have let more of the real appreciation take the form of nominal appreciation (dollars per renminbi).

The test button (8) allows the correct operation of the device to be verified by passing a small current through the orange test wire (9).

By eliminating nominal exchange rate uncertainty, a common currency area has the additional benefit of lowering transaction costs and investment risks.

When single phase or three phase 230V AC power is needed (say, to power larger machines), an inverter must be used.

The debt criterion, for example, could be supplemented by a limit on the (trend) growth rate of public spending, which would be kept below that of nominal GDP.

But he s also liable to turn a 30 month ceremonial post as the EU s figurehead into one with much more political clout than its 27 national leaders might like.

Even an economy with an overall budget deficit will have a declining government debt GDP ratio if the growth rate of its nominal GDP exceeds that of its debt. For Greece, with an overall deficit of 4.1 of GDP and a debt GDP ratio of 170 , the debt ratio would fall if the combination of inflation and real (inflation adjusted) GDP growth exceeded 2.4 .

Even an economy with an overall budget deficit will have a declining government debt GDP ratio if the growth rate of its nominal GDP exceeds that of its debt.

Technological breakthroughs have made it feasible to transport electricity via high voltage direct current (HVDC) over long distances without incurring great losses (only about 3 per 1,000 kilometers).

So these three psychiatrists, after about two or three weeks of observation, laid him down on a table, connected his temples to a very small source of current.

Direct current lines need to be constructed to carry solar and wind energy from sunny, windy areas to where most people live.

The most common DC voltages are 600 and 750 V for tram and rapid transit systems, and 1,500 and 3,000 V for mainlines.

Likewise, women tend to avoid the figurehead status that traditional protest has in the past imposed on certain activists almost invariably a hotheaded young man with a megaphone.

So, not only is public debt set to increase much faster than nominal GDP growth, but governments will have to devote an increasing share of their revenues to interest payments.

The country s creditors should now negotiate a consensual debt reduction through some combination of lower (and fixed) interest rates, reduced face value of debt, and very long maturities.

That is, that the resistance, the ratio of the applied electromotive force (or voltage) to the current, does not vary with the current strength .

To get pensions down by one percentage point of GDP, nominal economic growth of just 4 per year for two years would suffice with no further cuts.

NEW YORK Whenever I hear people on America s Republican right call themselves conservative, I experience the mental equivalent of a slight electric shock.

Any electrical device an appliance, an extension cord, whatever must be able to tell the power outlet, Hey, power outlet, I'm drawing too much current. Shut me off now, before I start a fire.

Nevertheless, the refusal of Philippine courts to award damages beyond actual damages and nominal moral damages has made loss of life affordable to those who intend to be derelict in their contractual obligations.

In the United States, the Federal Reserve has essentially adopted a quantitative employment target, with nominal GDP targets and other variations under discussion in other countries.

CALGARY When Harvey Cushing and William Bovie introduced electrocautery (which uses a high frequency current to seal blood vessels or make incisions) in 1926, their innovation transformed neurosurgery.

Proponents of austerity currently use nominal debt figures to scare voters, even in countries with record low interest rates and large private sector profits that are not being channeled toward investment.

As corporate finance experts have been saying for 30 years, having too much debt and too little equity is costly, so reducing the face value of debt can sometimes benefit not only equity holders, but also debt holders.

In addition to suffering from a lack of clarity on key issues, EU fiscal policy remains overly focused on short term goals, reflected in its needless emphasis on nominal deficit targets within annual budget cycles.

At first blush, this seems absurd Why would anyone want to lend money for a negative nominal return when they could simply hold on to the cash and at least not lose in nominal terms?
