A fuse should always be inserted into the line conductor, never the neutral conductor.
If a fuse has been inserted, inadvertently, into the neutral, an overload will still operate the fuse, but the line voltage will not be isolated from the circuit -thus presenting a shock hazard. Furthermore, it will not protect against an earth (ground) fault that occurs in the circuit.

What is exactly the function of Neutral link in an electrical circuit?
To protect a circuit, we use a fuse or circuit breaker. The fuse or circuit breaker must always be placed in the lineconductor, never in the neutral conductor. So, if we want to completely isolate a circuit from the supply, we must remove the fuse from the line conductor, and open the link in the neutral conductor. A 'link' is a non-fusible metal break point in the neutral.

Why would you put a fuse on the neutral side of an electrical circuit?
It does not matter what line in (the phase or neutral) is the fuse. In a closed series circuit current in all areas of the circuit is equal. It's best to put the fuses in both wires (phase and neutral) and even better for each individual device in the chain.
What is use of neutral link?
In a MEN (Multiple Earth Neutral) system, the neutral wire is connected to the earth wire at the switchboard. This is the neutral link. From an electrical point of view the neutral pin and the earth pin in a power socket are at the same potential but from a safety point of view they are different. A residual current device (RCD) (or earth leakage core-balance-relay(ELCBR)) sits in series with both the active and the neutral feed and a leakage from either wire to ground (via a human or water leak in a washing machine etc) will trip the circuit breaker that is in the RCD.Another AnswerFuses or circuit breakers must be inserted into the line conductor, never into the neutral conductor. However, if we need to isolate the circuit, we must place a break in both the line and the neutral conductors. We can achieve this for the line conductor by, for example, removing the fuse. To achieve the same with the neutral conductor, we can open the neutral link, which is simply a short length of conductor inserted between a pair of terminals in the neutral.
What happens to voltage during a short to ground?
Basically, the same as if you had a short to neutral, since the neutral and ground are tied to the same bus bar in the breaker panel. The breaker should trip, or the fuse should blow. Supply of voltage then stops.See the answer to the Related Question about GFCIs - shown below - for information about circuit protection when even a small current flows to ground.
Why fuse is not used on the path of neutral?
Neutral must never be cut off.

What happens if there is no neutral in smps circuit?
No neutral means no current and it doesn't work.

Why the fuse is placed in live wire only?
So that the live wire is isolated when the fuse blows. If a fuse was placed in the neutral, the equipment would still be live when the fuse blows.

Why should you never place a fuse in a neutral conductor?
In case of a fault (short) the device could still be energized even with the fuse blown. this means, a fuse in the neutral would never blow in a fault to ground, resulting in a very dangerous situation.
Where is the neutral safety switch located on a 2004 Envoy?
The neutral safety switch is located, on your 2004 Chevrolet envoy, on the side of the transmission next to the shifting linkage. The safety switch also has a fuse in the fuse box.
