The two safety measures are:
- Fuse: A fuse should be connected to each circuit because it prevents excessive current from flowing through the circuit. When the current in the circuit exceeds the fuse element’s maximum limit, the fuse melts, interrupting the current flow and protecting the appliance connected to the circuit.
- Earthing: The user is protected from electric shocks via earthing. Any current leakage in an appliance is transmitted to the ground through earthing, preventing electrocution of those using the item.
