Answer:

Copper has a higher melting point than the tin used in fuse wire. So, when a high level of current runs through copper wire, it continues to heat but will not melt. Instead, it causes a short circuit - potentially ruining your appliance and sparking a fire.

Answer:

this is because copper have high melting point 1080 degree Celsius

so it will not melt even if the current exceeds its safe limit
