Are round fuses safer than circuit breakers?
The question of safety doesn’t have anything to do with round fuses or circuit breakers. Safety is not a concern until the fuse box is not damaged or deteriorated. Fuses are usually more sensitive than circuit breakers and are safer to use. But circuit breakers are preferred for two reasons – first, when the fuse is used to protect your home from overload circuits, it cannot be reused. This would result in the consumption of more fuses. The second reason why circuit breakers are considered safer is because more insurance companies now require fuse boxes to be replaced with circuit breakers.
