In order to disconnect the house, you need to twist the stopper on the phase wire (usually the left tube). To avoid possible errors it is better to turn both.
2. Instead of the usual screw plugs are often used in the same cartridges automatic tube designed for a certain current, for example, 6A. This plug disconnects the supply voltage under short circuit conditions or exceeding the estimated load current. Automatic tube there are two buttons: a big power button, and a small – mute button. To turn off supply voltage, press the small button on the phase plug.
3. More often in homes and apartments put automatic protection designed for a certain current. This machine is very reliable and convenient.
