Answer:

In electronics and electrical engineering, a fuse is an electrical safety device that operates to provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit. Its essential component is a metal wire or strip that melts when too much current flows through it, thereby stopping or interrupting the current.

FUSES and circuit breakers are ''safety valves'' built into electrical circuits to protect the wiring against overheating due to an overload or a short circuit. ... A fuse or circuit breaker prevents this by ''blowing,'' or breaking the circuit, when an overload occurs.
