If there was a fault to earth the casing of the appliance would remain live otherwise. Also there could be a large current from live to earth which could heat the wires to the extent that your house burns down. This is expensive!
Neutral is near earth potential anyway.

The fuse should be the first device in any circuit. When a fault occurs the potential across the circuit should become zero to ground. If the fuse was located on the downstream side of the load it would still open the circuit but every part of the circuit upstream from the load would still have a voltage potential to ground. Any one working on the circuit upstream from the load has the potential to receive a shock even though the fuse has opened the circuit. So to answer the question the placement of the fuse in a circuit is for safety reasons.

What is the function of the 3 wires in a socket.?
One wire usually connected to the right side of us in the socket is the 'live' or 'phase' or 'hot'. The colour of this will be usually RED. The other one usually Black in colour will be connected to the left side to us and named as neutral. The third wire green in colour will be the earth wire which will be at the top of the socket. This is the safe guarding connection. If anything goes wrong especially in washing machine, wet grinder etc giving shock then immediately fuse would get blown and thus the motor as well as human life would be saved.
Why does the same side of the moon always face Earth?
The same side of the moon always faces Earth because of a phenomenon called synchronous rotation. This means that the moon's rotation period is the same as its orbital period around Earth, causing one side to always be facing us.
Why does the same side of the moon always face the Earth?
The same side of the moon always faces the Earth because of a phenomenon called synchronous rotation. This means that the moon's rotation period is the same as its orbital period around the Earth, causing one side to always be facing us.
What is the reason why the same side of the moon always faces the earth?
The same side of the moon always faces the earth because of a phenomenon called tidal locking, where the moon's rotation period is the same as its orbit around the earth. This causes one side of the moon to always be facing towards the earth.
What always forms an image that is on the same side of the lens as the original object and right side up?
A virtual image is always formed on the same side of the lens as the original object, and it is right side up. This type of image cannot be projected onto a screen, as it is the result of the apparent divergence of light rays.
Why is the fuse of an appliance always on the live side?
See Discuss Question below.
When a fuse is replaced what side of the fuse clip goes first?
When replacing a fuse, the side of the fuse clip that goes first is typically the side with the metal cap or the "live" end. This is to ensure proper electrical contact and safety. Always make sure to turn off the power before replacing a fuse to avoid electrical shock.
What side should the live wire be on?
Same side as the fuse.
Why is fuse always placed in the live wire of a circuit?
Purpose of the fuse is to save circuits from the damage due to high current and voltages caused during fault conditions. These faults affects the live wire. So fuses are kept there. Morever other parts such as ground, do not need this protection, since these high voltages gets automatically earthed.
Where is the fuse for the reversing lights?
The fuse is always located on the passenger's side on the door panel. Simply remove the panel and check the status of the fuse.
Where is the fuse for reverse light Lincoln?

Is a plug socket not live until all 3 prongs are in?
No. A plug has a Hot side and is always live assuming your breaker/fuse is installed and working how it's supposed to. You can get electrocuted by touching the hot side and grounding out, either through the ground part of the plug or by being grounded by touching something that connects you to the earth.
Where is the side lamp fuse on a Reno megane?
The side lamp fuse for a Renault Megane is typically located in the fuse box, which can usually be found under the dashboard on the driver's side or in the engine compartment. To identify the correct fuse, refer to the owner's manual for the specific fuse diagram. The fuse for the side lamps is generally labeled accordingly. Always ensure the vehicle is turned off before checking or replacing fuses.
