Fuses

Always replace a blown fuse with one of the same type and amperage rating. Never replace a fuse with a higher amperage.

 

Shut off all power when changing a fuse before touching the it and be sure you're standing on dry ground.

 

If unsure contact you local electrician

Overloaded circuit

An overloaded circuit is caused when there are more lights or appliances on it than it can safely handle. When all the lights or appliances are turned on at the same time, the fuse blows becuase the wiring overheats or the circuit breaker trips.

 

An electrician is a phone call away for any of your problems

Short circuit

A short circuit occurs when bare hot wire touches a bare neutral wire or a bare grounded wire (or some other ground). The flow of extra current blows a fuse or trips a circuit breaker.

 

Helpful Diagnostic Hint

Clues to why plug fuses blow are listed below

 

• An overload melts the bridge.

• A short circuit blackens the glass.
