Can you replace a fuse with a switch?Repairing a trip switch fuse box
Today most houses have a modern fuse box that uses trip switches, rather than carriers containing fuse wire. They are much more convenient to repair, as if you blow a fuse, it’s a case of flicking a switch back up, rather than replacing a fuse wire ，If your fuse switch has tripped after you’ve been using a lot of appliances in one room, you’ve likely overloaded the circuit. The simple answer is to unplug some of them and move the tripped fuse switch in your fuse box back to the ‘on’ position.
