What are Fuses?

So, what exactly is a fuse? A fuse is a small but critical component of any electrical system, appliance, or device. It's made up of a metal wire or strip that runs through the center and melts whenever an excessive amount of current passes through it.

This then cuts the circuit and prevents any more electricity from passing through. The strip, which can be made of various metals like zinc, copper, or silver, is mounted between two electric terminals and typically enclosed by some sort of housing or cover, and there are different types and sizes of fuses to handle different levels of current, including high voltage fuses which are more resistant than the fuses one would find in a typical household appliance or device.

What do Fuses do?

Fuses are crucial safety components for electrical appliances and systems. They've been used throughout history, all the way back to the earliest days of electrical invention, and they're so important for preventing dangerous accidents, fires, and other problems by cutting the current in a circuit if and when the level of electrical power passing through the system grows too large. Fuses can prevent against many common electrical issues like short circuits, overloads, and device failure, protecting the device itself and the user.
