what are the precautions to be taken while connecting fuse wire to a house hold circuit
Answers
For household wiring, always use good quality wires having proper thickness and insulation. An ISI mark must be there on any plugs, sockets, switches and electrical appliances in use.
All the wire connections should be tight and an insulating tape should all the wire connections. Replacement of defective switches, sockets, plugs, etc. must happen immediately.
The placement of all the switches in your household electrical wiring circuit should happen on the live wire of the circuit so that when the switch it off, the appliance disconnects from the live wire and on touching the device you do not get a shock.
Switch off the mains before you start working on a repair job on an electrical circuit.
In case of an electrical accident, switch off the main switch of the electrical supply. Try to insulate the person who has received a shock. In any case, do not touch him directly.
While earthing and installing a fuse for the household electric circuits, one should be precautious. Ensure that the fuses are placed on live wires and are of proper current rating.
