Electric fuse is a protective device which protects electrical equipment in the circuit by breaking the circuit when there is a short circuit.It contains a fuse wire which has low resistance, it allows normal current to pass through it safely but if there is any short circuit, fuse will blow out fuse wire cant withstand the heat produced by that current(infinite current) so it melts and breaks the circuit.Thus, protecting other electrical devices from short circuit current.
The fuse wire is made of zinc, copper, silver,aluminum, or alloys to provide stable and predictable characteristics

•Electric Fuse -: It is the most important safety device, used for protecting the circuits due to short-circuiting and over loading.
•Short - Circuit -: The contact of live or neutral wire cause short circuit, felt by seen sparkle.
Hope this will help you...
