REPLACING FUSES
INTRODUCTION
Fuses protect the electric system: they blow in the event of a fault
in the system. Check the efficiency of the corresponding fuse when
a device does not work: the conducting element A must not be in-
terrupted.
If it is, replace the blown fuse with a new one with the same am-
perage (same colour).
B intact fuse.
C fuse with damaged filament.
