An electric fuse is a safety device.
It helps avoid short circuits.
And thus helps in protecting the electrical appliances from getting damaged.
A fuse consists of a metal strip or a wire fuse element.
When current starts flowing through the fuse element.
Heat is generated due to resistance of the fuse element.
The fuse element is constructed in such a fashion that when normal current flows.
Or a small current spike occurs it does not cause the fuse element to attain a high temperature.
But when the current load is too high the fuse element rises to a high temperature and melts.
Thus breaking the circuit and in turn saving the electrical appliance from damage.
