An electric geyser has the rating `2000 W-220 V` marked on it. What should be the minimum current rating (in whole number) of the fuse-wire to be used ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`10 A`
`I = P//V = 2000 W//220 V = 9.1 A`. Thus, the minimum current rating (in whole number) of the fuse wire is `10 A`.
