Explanation:
The maximum current which can flow through a fuse without melting it, is called its rating. For example a fuse rated at 8 A,can stand current upto 8 A. If current higher than 8 A flows through the fuse, it would melt and circuit gets broken. ... Hence, fuse acts as a safety device.

Explanation:
It is called as a safety fuse because when voltage greater than the optimum voltage of the appliances is applied ,the fuse wire breaks and the circuit becomes incomplete, the current flowing stops thus prevents the the appliances from being short circuited.
