The delay fuses are used for the protection of ___________?

Correct answer: A. motors

  • A. motors
  • B. power outlet circuits

Explanation

Delay or time-delay fuses tolerate the brief high inrush current drawn when a motor starts, while still operating during a sustained fault. They are therefore commonly used for motor protection rather than ordinary lighting circuits.
