Hello everyone,
I am trying lately to understand the house I live in - more precisely to understand the electricity (wiring/flow etc.).
In this regard, I bought 2 books (Electrical installations in the house and ABC of electrical installations).
Now I don’t quite understand 3 points.
1. Electricity flow works as follows:
voltage builds up in the blue cable, as soon as the blue touches the black, the non-fixed protons move in the direction of the power consumer...
Question:
Uhm, so that means the non-fixed protons are basically consumed, right?
But shouldn’t the cable eventually no longer have protons that can move?
Picture for the question:

2. I don’t quite understand how the power supply from the utility provider to the internal wiring in the house works.
Now the blue line (L) is laid into the house by the power supplier, where the thick cable meets smaller cable connections in the house (electric box handover).
Shouldn’t the huge current transferred from the thick (L) to the thin (L) overload and cause the wiring to fuse?
Picture for the question:

3. What happens if you use too thick a cable for a normal 230V line?
Power loss or no power at all?
More safety?
Thanks for your efforts and best regards.
