connected in

A. parallel to live

B. parallel to neutral

C. series with live

D. series with neutral​

Answer 1

Ans. C

Sol. • A fuse wire is a safety wire

connected in series with the live

wire, in case of any large current supply

or malfunctioning in the electric

connections it melts and breaks the

electric circuit.

• It is always in series with the load no

matter where its located. Many loads

have an integral fuse that protects the

appliance load.

• Usually there is a fuse (or more common

these days, a circuit breaker) in the

distribution box. This is intended to

protect both the wiring and the appliance

load.
