HOW YOU CAN REDUCE FUSE BLOWOUTS Circuits in most homes are designed for 15 amperes. That means each circuit can stand 1800 watts of electricity at one time (15 amperes 120 volts). If, however, you plug in and operate on one circuit too many electrical appliances at one time that is, appliances whose wattages total more than the 1800 watts maximum your fuse hlows out.

CHECK WATTAGES! Before connecting electric appliances on a 6ingle circuit, look at the wattage marked on each appliance by the manufacturer. For instance, the electric iron shown ajt left takes 1025 watts and the electric toaster 1100 watts a total of 2125 watts! If these are put in operation on the same circuit at one time it is too much wattage for a fuse of 15 amperes, and it hlows out! Avoid the use of too many appliances (too much wattage) at one time on one circuit. and Hose Company firehome, Bound Brook in charge of Re corder Samuel B. Frank.
