An electric fuse is called a safety device because;

  • An electric fuse acts as a circuit breaker when there is an overflow of current.
  • It protects devices from getting damaged when there is a sudden voltage rise.
  • The electric fuse consists of a fuse wire having a very low melting point.
  • A current overflow and temperature rise melts the fuse wire and prevents the circuit from catching fire.
  • Electric fuse reduces the possibility of accidents due to short circuits.
