Question

In household circuits, a fuse is connected in series or in parallel?

Answer 1

The concept used: Electric fuse

The body of the solution is:

• A fuse is connected series with the electrical circuit to protect it from overloading.
• When we connect the fuse in series with the circuit no need to operate each device separately, So that the whole network is switched off when a fuse blows off.
• If one of the distribution circuits gets overloaded, only the fuse in that circuit will be blown off. Other distribution lines will remain unaffected.
