The fuse is place in the live wire so that under fault conditions the supply is cut off but the equipment is still connected to the neutral wire.
If both wires were fused, there would be a 50-50 chance of the one in the neutral going first, which could leave the equipment still connected to the live wire and thus a further potential danger.
What else can I help you with?
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.
How many terminals are in 3 phase?
There are usually 3 or 4 terminals. If only 3, then each wire is hot with respect to ground. If there are 4, then one wire is considered neutral.
Do you connect a fuse to the live wire or the neutral wire?
A fuse is typically connected to the live wire in a circuit. This is done to protect the circuit from an overload or short circuit, as the fuse will blow or trip and cut off the current flow if there is an issue.
How do you change a in line fuse stereo 4 gauge wire?
To change an in-line fuse in a stereo 4-gauge wire, first disconnect the wire from the power source. Locate the existing fuse holder, open it to access the fuse, replace the fuse with a new one of the same rating, and close the holder securely. Reconnect the wire to the power source and ensure the connection is secure.
What wire in a circuit should contain the fuse?
The wire that connects the power source to the rest of the circuit should contain the fuse. This is typically the wire that leads directly from the positive terminal of the battery or power source. Placing the fuse in this wire helps protect the circuit in case of a short circuit or overload.
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 fuse is not connected in neutral wire?
Because the neutral wire only carries unbalanced currents. The hot wire carries full load currents. Answer for European SystemsThe above answer is only true for three-phase systems. In single-phase systems, the neutral carries exactly the same current as the line conductor. The reason for not placing the fuse in the neutral conductor is one of safety. For example, if the fuse were to blow due to, say, an overload current, then although no current could flow, the entire conductor would remain live and highly dangerous.
How does a wire connect to a fuse box?
A wire connects to a fuse box by being inserted into a terminal or connector within the fuse box, where it is either screwed or clipped into place, ensuring a secure electrical connection. The wire typically connects to a fuse or circuit breaker to protect the electrical system.
Why is an insulator required for the body of a fuse?
The wire element of a fuse is ONLY effective if it is connected to each end as the only metallic connection. The insulator is required to hold the wire element, and so that people can install and remove the fuse.
Do you get a shock when you touch the phase wire of single phase?
Only if you are grounded and provide a return path for the current to travel.
Does negative ground wire have fuse?
NO. Usually the positive wire will have the fuse.
How does a wire fuse work?
A wire fuse works by only allowing so much electricity to flow through. When the electrical current goes above a predetermined rate the fuse breaks and stops the electricity from doing damage.
Why is it dangerous to replace a fuse with a wire that bypass the fuse?
The wire may not melt and break if an unsafe current is produced.
What is thicker a 8amp fuse wire or a 15amp wire?
The 15 amp fuse.
How do you change wire fuse for circuit breaker?
A circuit breaker does not have a wire fuse in it.
What is the difference between fuse wire and normal wire?
Fuse wire is designed to open under over current conditions. Just like a fuse.
How many earth wires are required for single phase motor?
There is only one ground wire needed on any motor, single or three phase.
