In our homes electricity is brought from electric power station by two insulated wires of aluminium or copper. Out of these two wires, one wire is in red insulation and is called live wire and the other wire is in black insulation and is called neutral wire. The electricity coming in our house is actually alternating current having 220 V potential. Both the live wire and neutral wire enters in a box where a main fuse is put on the live wire.
These wires then pass through electricity meter present in the house. After the electricity meter, these wires enter into main switch which is used to switch off the electricity supply whenever required. After the main switch, these wires are connected to live wires of two separate circuits present in the house to supply electricity. Out of these two circuits, one circuit is of 5A rating which is used to run electric appliances with low power ( such as tube lights, bulbs and fans) and the other circuit is of 15A rating which is used to run electric appliances with high power ( such as air conditioners, refrigerators, electric iron and heaters). It should be noted that all the circuits in house are connected in parallel so that switching off one circuit does not affect the other circuit. One more advantage of parallel connection of circuits is that each electric appliance gets equal voltage.

It allow the excess of current to pass into appliance due to bad insulation .
