How does a fuse prevent possible damage in case of overloading or short circuit? Why is it always connected to the live wire? |

Answer» Explanation: fuse or circuit breaker prevents this by ''blowing,'' or breaking the circuit, when an overload occurs. Fuses screw into threaded SOCKETS INSIDE the fuse box. The fuses CONTAIN a thin strip of metal that melts if the current (or AMPERAGE) FLOWING through that circuit exceeds the amount for which that fuse is rated. |
