Answer 1

Advantages of ring system over tree system

1. In a ring system the wiring is cheaper than tree system.
2. In ring system the sockets and plugs of same size can be used while in a tree system sockets and plugs are of different size.
3. In ring system, each appliance has a separate fuse due to which if there is a fault and the fuse of one appliance burns it does not affect other appliances; while in a tree system when fuse in one distribution line blows, it disconnects all the appliances connected to that distribution circuit.
