Across
  1. 6. is the return path for an electrical circuit made by connections to ground at each end (2 words)
  2. 8. is an electrical safety device designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overcurrent (2 words)
  3. 9. - a substance or material that allows electricity to flow through it
  4. 13. an electrical safety device that operates to provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit.
