Is this right? Switch fuse spur

[littlespark]

Customer supplied shiny metal accessories, varilight through TLC.

the switch fused spurs are prebuilt from grid components, but where they have put the link, it shows line supply into fuse first, then through dp switch. Neutral only goes through switch.

I thought it would go through switch first, to isolate the fuse if you need to pop it out.

ive fitted them as is, as that’s how they’ve been supplied.

Come to think of it…. Shouldn’t it be a brown coloured link?

That makes sense! All mine were non illuminated too.

I'm not quite following that

Why does fuse have to come before switch so indicator goes out

 

[Mikegh]

Switch -fuse -neon /load

Is that not the same outcome when fuse blows

 

[Mikegh]

Just thinking

Is it what the neon is connected between the fuse and switch so lights with a blown fuse when supply is connected to switch first ?

It's done supply-fuse-switch so that if the switch is illuminated, a blown fuse would mean the indicator would be off. If you wire it switch first, then the switch will be lit up (when on) even if the fuse is blown - confusing for the user.
If illuminated, the indicator is integral to the switch.

^ Beat me to it. Here is a high quality circuit diagram:

Hadn't seen schematics before, it's definitely confusing if neon is lit when fuse is blown

Anyone would assume all is good with the unit
