IN THE EVENT OF A BURNT FUSE

GENERALITIES

The fuse is (fig. 66) a protective element
of the electrical system: basically it operates
(i.e. it gets disconnected) in case of break-
down or wrong operation on the system.
When an electrical devices ceases to func-
tion, make sure it has not fused. The fila-
ment must not be broken: if so, replace the
burnt fuse with another of the same value
(same colour).

ways an intact fuse of the same
colour.
