उत्तर
- Electrical appliances used in homes like geyser, heater, motor, oven, washing machine, etc. have high power consumption.
- If such appliances are connected simultaneously, a large amount of current flows in the circuit.
- This current may exceed permissible value and cause overloading.
Hence, nowadays MCBs are used in homes, to stop the current in the circuit which suddenly increases due to overloading.
