Even these cartridge fuses have 2 types - those with renewable fuse links and those one-time non-renewable types. The only advantage of renewable type - they are more economical because cartridge can be reused. However, more precautions are needed with regards to cleanliness of contacts, securing of cap bolts, and choice of current rating of link.

Whenever a fuse blows, it means there is already a big fault in circuit. Electricians must be especially careful during this time and take necessary precautions. The fuses blow up for safety. Don't cause another blow up!

Until next time...

In 2003 Identity Fraud World Wide was estimated to be approximately $100 Billion USD. By end of 2005 it is estimated identity fraud will cause up to 5 Trillion Dollars World Wide. It is totally important to protect yourself online. There are plenty of decent quality Spyware removal tools. My current favourite is Ad-Aware, which does a very good job of removing Spyware, and programme even keeps it self up to date with latest definitions.

A few more things to keep in mind:

Keep your Anti-Spyware and Anti-Virus software up to date. Regularly run your Anti-Spyware and Anti-virus programmes. Only submit Private and Personal information to Secure Websites. Never give out any personal information to non trusted websites. Clear your internet browser cache regularly. Never assume anyone is as honest as you.
