Question 408Electricity & Electronics - Assistant Engineer
70% to passRefer to figure "A" representing an electric oven as shown in the illustration. With the oven turned on, the power available indicator light is off, the oven on indicator light is off, and only elements "6" and "7" appear to be producing heat. Which fuse is blown? Illustration EL-0041

AL1 10A line fuse is blown
BL2 10A line fuse is blown
CL3 10A line fuse is blown
DL1 1A control fuse is blown
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) L1 10A line fuse is blown. This is because with the power available indicator light off, the oven on indicator light off, and only elements 6 and 7 producing heat, it indicates a loss of power on one of the line fuses, most likely the L1 10A line fuse. The other line fuses (L2 and L3) would need to be intact for the other elements to be producing heat. The other options are incorrect because a blown L2 or L3 line fuse would result in a different pattern of heating elements, and a blown L1 control fuse would typically cause all the indicator lights and heating elements to be off, not just some elements.
