Fuse is the safety measures which protect us from getting any accidentally electric shock.
Working of fuse..
the main fuse in the domestic wiring consists of a porcelain fuse holder having two brass terminal in it. this is connected to live wire. the other part of the fuse is removable fuse grip which is also made of porcelain. diffuse group has a fixed wire in it. when fuse group in which is best in fuse holder then the circuit of domestic wiring is completed. so under normal circumstances when current is within limits the fuse wire intact and electric current is available in our wiring. when short circuit and overloading take place the current become large and heat the fuse wire too much. since melting point of fuse wire is much lower than copper wire the fuse wire make belts and break the circuit. when fuse wire regret Electric Supply switch off before any damage can be done to the rest of wiring.
hope it helps
thanks...

Electrical shock is no laughing matter, as it often result in a severe injury and can be even a fatal.Educating yourself about avoiding electric shock can keep you safe and prevent a dangerous accident.This is me now going to give you some tips on preventing electrical shock
1.Learn how electricity works.
knowledge is a power, and the first step in preventing any dangerous situation is to understand the cause of electric shock .Read book, Articles, websites and blogs about electricity and safety measures to take when working with electricity.
●In basic terms , electricity naturally tries to flow to the earth or ground through any and all material that will conduct electric current.
●certain compound like wood , paper are poor conductor of electricity.other material like seawater,and many metal conduct very well.The human body is able to conduct the current largely due to the amount of sodium and water in the body, and electric shock happen when electricity flows through parts of body.
●This happens most often when the direct source of electricity is exposed to human contact.It may also flow into a person through another conductor like a pool of water or a metal pole.
●To know more about electricity you may consult to a trusted electrician.
2.Know your limits.
There are some simple electrical problems around the house that you can handle yourself.However, anytime you are having serious or major electrical issues,you should hire a professional electrician.It may be expensive but ,it is cheaper then stint in the hospital.
●There are essentially two types of electricians you can hire,"master electricians"and "journeyman electricians"both types are usually licensed by the state -but not always.Master electrician are generally own business and can employ other licensed electrician and helper or apprentice ,while journeyman electrician can work for a master electrician or self- employed and hire a helper or apprentice.The rules of what each type of electrician may do and may not do varies by country,state or locallity.
3.Find out electricity requirements.
The items and appliances in your household all have their own electrical requirements.Know the specific types of circuit breaker , fuses and even light bulbs that are required in your home.Make sure to replace them with the right parts when needed .Using incompatible parts could cause the equipment function improperly ,Crete an unsafe condition that may rose to fire,injury or death.
4.Turn off the electricity
The first step that you need before attempting to fix any electrical problems yourself is to turn the electricity off in your home.This helps to insure that even if you did a mistake , you won't be electrocuted.
●There will be a main electrical pannel somewhere In your home (usually In basement or garage).This panne has usually a simple on/off switch that allow you to cut the flow of electricity to your entire house .Make sure the switch on this panel is turned"off" before attempting any repairs.
5.Cover sockets and outlets. Covering outlets with wall panels is crucial for preventing accidental contact with wires, and is required by code. If you live with small children, it is also wise to use socket safety plugs to keep curious fingers safe from injury.
6.Install GFCI breakers, outlets and adapters. GFCI, or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, devices are able to detect imbalances in the amount of electricity flowing through an appliance and will cut off power at the GFCI device. GFCI receptacles are required in most new construction homes in places where electric shock is possible, such as the bathroom, the kitchen, and outdoors, and can typically be installed in older homes for a low cost.
