A fuse is an over current protection device, and will operate wherever it is placed in a circuit. However, because it's important that it isolates the faulty circuit from the supply, it MUST be located in the line (NEVER the neutral) conductor at the point where the circuit is connected to the supply.
The point is that the circuit will always be energised (and potentially dangerous) up to the point where the fuse is connected, even when the fuse has operated and no current can flow.
What else can I help you with?
Are your BMW electric windows connected to a fuse?
Yes, the electric windows are connected to a circuit protection devise such as a fuse or circuit breaker.
Where the fuse is connected in the circuit?
the fuse is placed in series with the device
Why must a fuse always be connected in a non-earthed conductor?
It is the ungrounded conductor that carries the load current. It is that conductor that needs to be protected should a fault current occur. That is what the fuse in that circuit does.
What is the purpose of connecting fuse in both positive and negative terminals?
Because if it is not connected to both it is not a full circuit and therefore if it is not a full circuit then the fuse can't protect you.
How is the fuse connected in the circuit?
The fuses are held by spring metal clips , the clips are themselves being permanently connected to the circuit conductors.
How are fuses or circuit breakers connected with other elements in the circuit?
Fuses are normally associated in series with the component(s) to be protected from over-current, so that when the fuse blows (opens) it's going to open the whole circuit and prevent cutting-edge through the ingredient
Which is the radio fuse in a 1988 4Runner?
The radio fuse is connected to the horn circuit, under the hood left/passenger side (15 Amp fuse)

Fuse should be connected to a circuit by parallel?
Fuse is a circuit element which disconnects the electrical current from the mains"supply" feeding the load when a condition of fault "short circuit " occurs. one behaviour of electric current that it flows undivided in circuit elements connected in series and is divided when flows in circuit elements connected in parallel. so in order to protect a circuit fuse MUST be connected in series to cut/disconnect the faulty current in a safe/short time. if u connect a fuse in parallel to a component then u will be shorting that component and the component will not function ;because the fuse is a thin wire with a negligible resistance and electrical current flows in the most easy "less resistive" component. besides a short circuit will happen immediatly because u connectthe supply to the neutral! hope that helps.
Can you replace a 10 amp fuse with a 20 amp fuse?
NO! Using a larger amp fuse defeats the purpose of the fuse to protect the wiring in the circuit. This can cause a fire. Always use the correct amp fuse for that circuit.
Can you replace a 20 amp fuse with a 10 amp fuse?
NO! Using a larger amp fuse defeats the purpose of the fuse to protect the wiring in the circuit. This can cause a fire. Always use the correct amp fuse for that circuit.
Can you replace 1 amp fuse with a 5 amp fuse?
No, the one amp fuse is the recommendation of the manufacturer of the circuit. By replacing it with a fuse five times larger will default the warranty placed on the equipment by the manufacturer. Where one amp will do no damage to the circuit, five amps could destroy the components that are connected in the circuit.
