(a) A fuse should always be placed in the live wire of main circuits.
(b) The earth wire should be connected to the body of an appliance.
Explanation:
- If the fuse is connected with a neutral wire than live wire, then when the fuse burns out, the appliances still remain connected to the live wire and the current would still be flowing without any disrupting causing overloading.
- When a metallic body of the electric appliance is intertwined with an earth wire, then in case of any leakage of electric current is directly transferred to the ground instead of giving a severe electric shock. So, earthing of electric appliances is necessary.
