🔍 Key Concepts

• Role of a fuse in protecting electrical circuits from overcurrent • Difference between fixing a symptom (the blown fuse) and fixing the cause (fault in the circuit) • Safety concerns with changing fuse amperage or system voltage from designed values

💭 Think About

• Ask why a correctly sized fuse would blow repeatedly—what does that usually indicate about the circuit? • Consider what happens if you increase a fuse’s amperage compared to the wire and equipment rating—does this make things safer or more dangerous? • Think about whether reducing voltage is a standard or reliable way to deal with an overcurrent condition in a vessel’s electrical system.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm what the proper function of a fuse is (to protect what part of the system?). • Check which options change the designed protection level instead of correcting the underlying problem. • Verify which action aligns with standard marine electrical troubleshooting practice: fix cause vs. bypass protection.
