Fuse wire should be placed in the path of wire
Fuse wire should be placed in the path of wire
- A. Neutral
- B. Phase
- C. Earth
- D. None of these
Step-by-step solution
In electrical circuits, a fuse is placed in the phase (live) wire to protect against overcurrent. If a fault occurs, the fuse blows, breaking the circuit and preventing damage or shock. Placing it in the neutral or earth wire would not cut off the live supply, leaving the circuit hazardous.
