i was very nervous when he touches activated thermal fuse, still connected to live? wire(maybe multi-tap disconnected i assume? but anyway, thanks for explaination
This is a well made video. I opened up a failed ding dong doorbell and inside the solenoid just below the plastic covering of the winding, there is a small square thermal fuse. Question. What type of electronic component can be added to a doorbell to make it prank proof, for example somone sticks gum on the push button, or the push button gets stuck on push mode burning the doorbell. What can be added so when the button is left pushed continuously, the solenoid will only activate once and not be activated continuously until it burns.
I suggest to replace the push button with a more durable ones. the heavy duty industrial or weather proof types can be considered. For the bell to activated continously when the push button activated once. you must set up a electrical circuit, for the bell to turn off, you can use a timer.
@@temmycandrawijaya Lets say I have an indestructible button made by aliens. But still if someone leaves their finger on the button pressed, what component or mechanism can be added between the button and the solenoid, so that even if you keep your finger there the solenoid will only ding once and releasing the button will allow it to ding again when pressed. Not a continuous ding that will burn the solenoid. I was searching for a push button that when pressed it will click back to off. But I dont know if they exist or how they are called Thanks
Hello Great video! How important is the amperage rating? I have an air fryer that has two 184 degree thermal fuses. No amp rating on either fuse. The gadget is rated 1500 watts. With UK voltage of 230 volts. Total amps is therefore assumed 6.5A. I was going to get a 10A Aupo thermal fuse (BF184), like the one marked in the fryer, but have been informed by the company’s customer service that a 16A fuse (BF184X) should be used. How important is the amperage rating and do you advise using 10A or 16A? Regards
Very interesting, always assumed thermal fuses were semiconductors in some way, never would have expected them to be entirely mechanical. 👍
Thank you for your comment
Thank you so much for enformatinos and good luck 👍👍👍
You're welcome
Excellent video - thank you! Nice job.
Thank you for your comment
Very helpful

Thermal fuse is a electrical safety device works mainly for temperature limit. The ampere rating is the maximun current capacity of the fuse.

Yep just grab the live wire plugged in to see why it failed… 💥
