4.2.1.2 Replacing tripped fuses

Damaged electronic circuits may cause an electric shock. 

  • Do not install components in the electrical system that exceed the electronic circuit's nominal amperage. 

  • Before connecting an electric circuit make sure that the circuit is not damaged and that there is no short circuit or a fire.

  • Any damaged equipment must be serviced before it is put back into use.

Direct supply fuses/switches

If a fuse is tripped, the switch springs up to the off position. To switch it back on, press the button after the overload.

Do not turn the switch back on before you have found the reason for the interference.

Regular fuses

Regular fuses are trip switches that break the circuit and spring up when tripped.

To switch them back on, press the button after the overload.

Do not turn the switch back on before you have found the reason for the interference.

Heavy-duty fuses

Check the functioning of heavy-duty fuses from the holes in the fuse covers. If the metal strip inside is damaged, the fuse is tripped.

Changing tripped heavy-duty fuses yourself poses a risk of electric shock and serious injury.

  • Do not change a tripped fuse yourself but contact a qualified electrician.

  • Even opening the cover is not recommended. If it is necessary to open the cover, make sure that all the current cables from the batteries are disconnected.
