You connect the fuse to the live wire as it is the one with the potential difference of 220V and in case of short circuit current will blow out here

Live wire is called a hot wire, as this is the wire that gives the current.

Earth wire is a ground wire. So one is hot, and one is ground.

Why the fuse is placed in live wire only?

So that the live wire is isolated when the fuse blows. If a fuse was placed in the neutral, the equipment would still be live when the fuse blows.


Why is it important that the live wire not the neutral wire is connected to the fuse?

Suppose there is a fuse which is connected to a live wire and it breaks some day because of excessive power supply. The light goes off because of that. You think that there is no power supply, but actually the neutral wire is taking current towards you. You carelessly try to repair the fuse, and you get a shock. Thus, neutral wires are not preferred in fuse.


Is black or grey wire live?

The black wire originating from a breaker box or fuse box is the live wire. However, in certain cases, the grey (or white) neutral wire can also be live. For example, the black wire may feed a lighting outlet, and if the neutral wire is broken on its way back to the neutral bar in the panel, then the neutral wire from the lighting outlet will be hot, because there is an electrical path from the black wire, through the light, and to the neutral. The point is, always check with a voltmeter before assuming the white or grey wire is not live.

Where do you connect the speaker ground wire?

remember the + side of the speaker basically means neutral, in all electric projects the - is always the live line, so if + means neutral that basically means that ground would also be neutral, speakers dont need ground, so if u wish connect + with neutral on the speaker.
