Types of Fuses - An Introduction for Home Owners.
When there is a lot of current flow, the electrical circuit is broken by the fuse. Thus the appliance and the electrical wiring is protected, in case something goes wrong. When the amount of heat or current exceeds the device’s capability, the wiring in the fuse would melt and the circuit would be disrupted or broken. Make sure that your property has the relevant fuses installed. Call our team of Perth electricians to install any types of fuses for your electrical safety.
