Question
Point out two main disadvantages of ‘Tree System’.
✓
Answer
The three main disadvantages are:
(i) Longer length of wire is required for wiring different rooms in a house. Since all circuits start from the main distribution board and so it is comparatively more Expensive.
(ii) If fuse blows off in any part of the building, it disconnects all the appliances in the circuit.
