Question 504Electricity & Electronics - QMED
70% to passWhen replacing fuses, what practice should be observed?
The correct answer is D) the fuse clips are straight, tight, and in good contact. When replacing fuses, it is important to ensure that the fuse clips are in good condition and making proper contact with the fuse. This helps to ensure that the circuit is properly protected and that the fuse will function as intended. Replacing a fuse with one that has loose, bent, or corroded clips can lead to poor contact and potential issues with the circuit. The other answer choices are not the best practices for replacing fuses. Option A is unnecessary, as long as proper safety precautions are taken. Option B is incorrect, as increasing the fuse rating is not recommended and can lead to potential overloading of the circuit. Option C is also not necessary, as long as the fuse clips are in good condition.
