The function of a fuse is to prevent a short circuit in electrical appliances.

To understand its function, we must first comprehend the fuse's mechanism:

  • A fuse is made of a piece of wire or strip that transmits electricity. When an overcurrent is detected, the metal wire readily melts.
  • Melting of wire breaks the circuit and prevents current from flowing through the electrical device or appliance.

As a result, the basic functions of a fuse are:

  1. To limit the passage of overcurrent across the electrical system.
  2. To avoid short circuits and fires as a result of them.
  3. To safeguard electrical components from overcurrent damage.
