Check the circuit once again to ensure that houschold circuit is complete Jo test the fuse : Bulbs are usually of rating of (5 V, 1.0 W) each, The current drawn P10, Fag 702A. For three bulbs, the tou current drawn showld aot exceed 0.6 A, 4 Increase the current gradually to 0.75 A, the fuse must burn off at about 0.6 A. Conclusion ‘The household circuit assembly is complete and installed with the safety fuse of suitable val. Precautions 1, Step-down transformer with tappings of 4 V, 6 V, 8 V and 10 V should be used. 2. The safety fuse should be selected suitably. 4. Bulbs of only the stated ratings should be used, If these are not available, then the fuse selected should be of appropriate value. When large current is drawn, a fuse of much higher rating than the caiculuied one will damage the whole line before itself blowing ott Disrecinn
