In Reply to: RE: Is Ralph Lauren making fuses now? posted by Lew on September 29, 2014 at 19:05:49:
I will start by making assumptions;
The electricity coming from the wall enters my gear.
The electricity has a positive and a neutral side (black wire, white wire). I will call the neutral feed 'negative' from here on in.
The positive side goes straight to the gear, the negative side goes through that itsy bitsy teeny tiny little piece of wire inside the fuse. This negative side now goes to the gear.
This is an alternating current.
1)Please explain to me in electrical terms what the difference would be if we put the fuse on the positive (black wire) coming into the gear? as opposed to the negative (white) wire.
2) I know we have fuses to protect our gear. I know lightning strikes might fry our gear without fuses. Please enlighten me as to what other situations would fry my gear if I didn't have fuses?
