Answer
Fuse is used for protecting appliances due to short-circuiting or overloading. The fuse is rated for certain maximum current and close off when a current more than the rated value flows through it. If a fuse is replaced by one with larger ratings, the appliances may get damaged while the protecting fuse does not burn off. This practice of using fuse of improper rating should always be avoided
