A fuse is NOT fitted in the neutral phase of single phase domestic power supply. The fuse is fitted in the LINE (also mistakenly called Live).
If you have checked and found that the fuse is in the neutral, something is wrongly wired.

Is line wire also called live wire?
Line is the left hole of an outlet. Neutral is the right, and ground is the upside-down semicircle. A live wire is a wire with current flowing through it. Because neutral doesn't have any current in it, but line does, you could say that line is live. This explains why that you can be shocked from touching just the line. You can't be by touching just the neutral or ground. Line to neutral is the most deadliest if it travels across you. Line to ground will tingle a lot, but it won't necessarily kill you because the current draw isn't nearly as much as line to neutral. But basically line is the most dangerous part of an outlet, so line or live, both are dangerous. :P Female Electricity Geeks will rule the world. Does this question matter? We will all die anyways XD but yeah. That's the gist of it.
Is it possible to connect 3 phase 440 V without neutral line to the machine having 3 phase 4 wires with neutral line?
yes
What do the electrical symbols L and N and A stand for when referring to live and neutral etc?
line neutral amperage
Can you read 120 volts line to neutral even with a severed neutral?
It depends on what side of the break that you are reading from. On the neutral load side of the break there will be no reading. On the panel neutral side of the break you will get a reading.
What is the difference between a neutral wire and a hot wire?
In alternating-current systems, we don't have a 'positive' and a neutral conductor, but a 'line' and a neutral conductor.The neutral conductor is connected to the earth and, so, has a potential of approximately zero volts.The line conductor, on the other hand has a potential of approximately 230 V (in Europe) or 120 V (in North America) with respect to the neutral conductor. For this reason, line conductors are frequently referred to as being the 'hot' conductor.
What is the power line voltage between phase and earthing?
It is the same as phase to neutral. As the neutral is earthed at the electricity suppliers transformer.
What line deliver electricity to your home?
Distribution lines
How much electricity is lost from the power plant to homes?
A power plant produces electricity (electromagnetic energy) which is delivered to a user's home. There is no transformation as electric power is created at the plant, delivered via the power grid and used in the home.
Why no electric shock from neutral line?
There is normally no voltage on the neutral line because the neutral line is grounded. However, and this is always important, do not assume that neutral is grounded, nor that there is not an elevated voltage on neutral or ground due to a possible ground fault.
When the neutral switch is open where do the line current flow to?
There is never a switch installed in a neutral line.

How many wires supply electricity to your home?
There are three wires supplying power to your home two line wires @ 110 volts each and one nutral.
What is 3 phasesystem?
in the production of electricity, a generator having three armature coil is rotated. and thus electricity produced in three armature coils,with different phase. phase is the angle value of the sinusoidal waveform. these three lines with a common neutral line is transmitted. for bulk users, they can take connections from more than one line.
Is the blue line a part of the neutral zone?
The blue line is what separates the neutral zone from a team's offensive and defensive zones.
If in the three phase connection phase to phase voltage is 400v what will be the phase neutral voltage?
The formula to use is, phase voltage /1.73 = phase to neutral (ground) voltage.CommentThere is no such thing as a 'phase to phase', or 'phase to neutral' voltage. The correct terms are 'line to line' and 'line to neutral'. So the above answer should read: line voltage/1.73= line to neutral voltage = phase voltage.
Which travels in a straight line sound light electricity?
Electricity.
What is HT line in Electricity?
High tension line so a stronger wire for more electricity to run through
