Question 15Electricity & Electronics - QMED
70% to passWhich of the following precautions should be taken when a blown fuse, rated at 10 amperes, is replaced?
AFuses of 10 ampere rating and less are virtually harmless when energized and may be handled freely.
BUse needle-nose pliers to remove fuse from the circuit.
CShort out the fuse before removing it from the circuit.
DReplace blown fuse with one of equal voltage and ampere capacity.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Replace blown fuse with one of equal voltage and ampere capacity. This is the correct answer because using a fuse with the same voltage and ampere capacity is crucial for ensuring proper circuit protection. Using a fuse with a different rating could lead to dangerous outcomes, such as the fuse not providing the necessary overcurrent protection or potentially causing damage to the circuit. The other options are incorrect because they do not properly address the need to replace the fuse with the correct rating.
