According to *Indian Electricity Rule 32, Clause 2*, no cut-out, link or switch other than a link switch arranged to operate simultaneously on the earthed or earthed neutral conductors and live conductors shall be inserted or remain inserted in any earthed or earthed neutral conductor of a two-wire system or in any earthed or earthed neutral conductor of a multi-wire system or in any conductor connected there to with the following exceptions: (1) *A link for testing purpose, or* (2) *A switch for use in controlling a generator or transformer.* *In a more detailed explanation*, The Indian Electricity Rule 32, Clause 2 says that, you should not put any switches, fuse cut-outs, or links in the neutral wire of your home's electrical system. *There are two situations where you are allowed to put a switch or link in the neutral wire:* 1. *Testing*: Electricians need to test electrical systems to make sure they are working safely. They may put a temporary link in the neutral wire to do this testing. 2. *Controlling Generators or Transformers*: Big machines like generators or transformers need special switches to control them. These switches can be put in the neutral wire, but only for these specific machines. *LET'S PROVE THIS THEORY* Let a fuse be inserted in the neutral of the supply as shown in in the left picture, and let the metallic body of the electric appliance be earthed to avoid electric shock. Let the insulation of the appliance deteriorate to causing leakage current and will make the fuse in the neutral to melt first. But as soon as someone touches the electric appliance in order to know what has happened, he will complete the circuit through his body to earth and source and thus will get a severe shock since it is still not disconnected from the live mains. *Hence for safety reasons, a fuse should never be used in neutral.* ```Fuse in neutral circuit (person will get shock when switch is closed wheather the fuse is healthy or blown).``` ```React, Share and turn the 🔔 icon to receive our latest update.```
