A fuse is nothing more than a short length of wire designed to melt and separate in the event of excessive current.It is an alloy of suitable metals and has a low melting point.
why it is called safety fuse?
during the entire time of passing of current through a circuit.a small amount of heat is generated in the circuit when the current flow exceeds the permissible limit;the heat generated becomes excessive so more heat is transmitted. then the fuse wire melts thus it protects the appliances
