what is the meaning of electric fuse

$\huge\sf\blue{Answer}$

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.

$\sf\bold\blue{Types \: of \: Fuses}$

The fuse is the current interrupting devices which break or open the circuit by fusing the element and thus remove the faulty device from the main supply circuit. The fuses are mainly classified into two types, depends on the input supply voltages they are the AC fuses and the DC fuses.

$\sf{AC \: fuses}$

The AC fuses are categorised into two types they are the low voltage fuses and the high voltage fuses. The frequency of the AC fuses changes it amplitude from 0º to 60º in very one second. Thus, the arc extinction in the AC circuit can be done easily as compared to the DC circuit.

$\sf{DC \: fuses}$

The DC fuse opens or breaks the circuit when the excessive current flow through it. The only difficulty with the DC fuse is that the arc produced by the direct current is very difficult to extinct because there are no zero current flows in the circuit. For reducing the DC fuse arcing the electrodes are placed more distance apart due to which the size of the fuse increases as compared to AC fuse.
