Question

The fuse current rating should be chosen such that

  1.  It is exactly equal to the current rating of electrical the appliance
  2. It is less to the current rating of electrical the appliance
  3. It is greater equal to the current rating of the electrical appliance
  4. It is just above the current rating of the electrical appliance

hintHint:

Just above corrent rating

The correct answer is: It is just above the current rating of the electrical appliance


    • The fuse current rating should be chosen such that it is just above the current rating of the electrical appliance.
    • Voltage rating of the fuse must always higher than the voltage rating of the circuit that it is protecting.
