Question
Where are the cartridge type fuse used?
✓
Answer
Cartidge type fuse are used to provide additional safety to an electric appliance. The fuse wire used must have a lower rating than the maximum current which the appliance or the circuit can withstand. Hence, the fuse blows off just the current nearly approaches the maximum value and thus it protects the appliance from any damage done due to heating.
