Study Notes

Electrical safety devices are important to prevent fire and electrocution.
Over-current protective devices cut off the line when current capacity is exceeded.
Protective devices prevent abnormal voltage, overloading, wiring and transformer damage, and accidental contact with damaged equipment.
Fuses are the simplest and most common type of circuit protective device.
Fuse rating should be equal to the maximum current rating of machinery/appliances in the circuit.
Circuit breakers do the same job as fuses but are not destroyed when activated.
Circuit breakers are equipped with an automatic tripping device to protect against overload and ground fault.
Circuit breakers can act as a switch and protect/switch up to three lines.
Fuses are cheaper, but circuit breakers are considered safer.
Circuit breaker position is easier to detect than a busted fuse.
