🔍 Key Concepts

• Electrical safety procedures when working on energized or potentially energized circuits • Purpose-designed tools for handling fuses and why they exist • Risk of creating a short circuit or shock path with metal tools

💭 Think About

• Which tool is specifically designed for gripping and removing fuses safely, rather than being a general-purpose tool? • How does the shape and material of the tool reduce the chance of your body becoming part of the electrical path? • Would using a metal tool, even if insulated on the handle, still leave any risk at the working end near the fuse contacts?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option refers to a tool made specifically for fuses, not just any insulated object. • Consider whether the working end (the part touching the fuse and holder) is likely to be insulated or metal. • Ask: which method would an electrical safety manual recommend to minimize shock and short-circuit risk when pulling a tubular fuse?
