OverLoaded Electrical System
Lower Appliance Efficiency
If your electric iron isn't heat-
ing as fast as you think .i,t should.
Or if it doesn't get as hot as you'd
like -don't fuss at the aPpliance.
you may be overloading the elect-
ric circuit.
But this won't happen if your
fuses or circuit breakers are of
the proper size. They warn you of
overloads.
• Fuses and circuit breakers are
protective devices. In the correct
size, they let you know w~en ~u
are putting too much of a burden
on your wiring. The fuse will blow
or the circuit breaker will pop
open and cut off the current if
too much load is demanded of the
electric circuit.
That's why it's dangerous to use
a fuse too large for the circuit.
You lose the very protection it
was designed to give you.
If you have too large a fuse

too great a demand on it for the
circuit to deliver. "ffnat's when the

Should the voltage drop low

if a serious question arises over
the legality of an action taken by
an organization, a court might
have to consider General Robert's

does the law to determine wheth-
