The current flowing in domestic wiring at a particular time depend on
the power ratings of the appliances being used.If too many electrical
appliances of high power rating like heater, A.C etc are used at same
time, they draw an extremely large current from the circuit. This is
known as Overloading .
Over loading can also occur if too many appliances are connected to single socket.
Prevention From Overloading:
A fuse is a safety device having a short length of a thin, tin coated copper wire having low melting point, which melts and breaks the circuit and prevents electrical appliances from getting damage[if the current exceeds a safe value].
A fuse wire is always connected in series in the electric circuits.
Nowadays Instead of Fuse , MCB's are also used.
