Replacing Fuses and Troubleshooting Fuse-Boxes

Before you decide to do the replacement fuse, you have to check your fuse box and determine what types of fuses. Modern switch boxes do not use fuses, but the use of amplifiers and rated circuit breakers in place. If one of these trips it can be reset by turning the switch off and back on again. If the fuse panel requires knowing what type and amperage rating, collect parts before you need them. To replace the bullet-shaped glass fuses, follow the six steps below.

In achieving this, we have the tools necessary to perform fuse replacement
effectively; it is a screwdriver, spare fuses, and electrical multi-meter. The reason for this is to check if the box needs replacing fuses or simple repair.
Open the fuse box, first turn off appliances or lights in the affected area. Open the fuse box because fuses are designed to be replaceable, you can usually accomplish the task by opening the door. If you are unable to fuse this position, you may have to use a screwdriver to remove the front cover.

Identify the fuse; the fuse should be burned or dark area in the center of the face flat fuse. If you can not say that the fuse has blown, and not on the panel, you may need to remove the fuses at once to find the right one. If so, the label on the fuse box on the fly to avoid future confusion.

Replace the fuse, remove and discard the old glass fuse. If fuses are cylindrical fuse box installed, you need to pull the box to check the fuses. You may also need a fuse puller to replace the fuse with a new one. Follow the procedure is exactly the opposite of putting the new fuse.

Replace the cover if I had to remove a cover to access the fuses, not replace it until you have changed the fuse and the proven power to that circuit. Always replace or close the lid when the work is completed to avoid objects and cause a fire or electric shock accidentally going into the fuse box.

Identifying the cause, once you have replaced the fuse, try to identify why the explosion. Usually a fuse will burn if too many electrical components are connected to the circuit and overload the fuse amperage supply. Remove some of the energy demands of the circuit. The fuses burn naturally over time, but if you replace the fuse same frequency, and the circuit is not overloaded, you may have a more serious problem.

And finally, solve the circuit, if the same fuse blows twice in less than a month; solve the circuit to detect potential problems in wiring. Start by removing all loads from the circuit and wait to see if the fuse blows again. If it does, test circuit wiring with a multi-meter to make sure of the proper voltage, amperage and resistance. Make sure there is no obstruction in making fuses and the fuse is able to seat solidly.
