They are a safety feature in the case of an energy surge - without the fuse damage could be dome to the appliance, with the fuse if their is a surge of electricity it burns out the fuse so can't travel all the way to the appliance damaging it.
Fuses allow for a know component failure point in an electrical circuit hopefully before another electrical component burns up. Sometimes the speed at which a fuse 'blows' is an important design consideration in choosing the proper fuse.
One type, a burning fuse, rarely used anymore, is used to detonate explosives. After being lit, the fuse burns its way to the charge, allowing the initiator enough time to move to a safe distance.
Another type of fuse (short for "fusible link"), in an electrical circuit, acts as a safety device, guarding the circuit against a current over-load (carrying more current than it was designed for). If an electrical over-load occurs, the fuse melts (in a controlled fashion), causing an "open (or break)" in the circuit, thus protecting the circuit by stopping current flow through it.
An open or broken circuit is an incomplete circuit, which current cannot pass through. (The currant over-load is headed off at the fuse). Once the reason for the over-load has been found and repaired, the fuse (now melted) which is needed to complete the circuit, must be replaced in order to restore normal function.
The fuse is lost but is very cheap and easy to replace. The circuit, which the fuse has protected, would have been much more expensive to repair, as would be the damage caused by a fire, a likely consequence of an un-fused overloaded circuit.
The uses of the fuse are to create bombs, it would be best if you just stay away from it or if you do not want robbers bombing your house you should just pull out all the wires in the fuse.
it will disconnect the circuit supply and protect the circuit components.
Need to know which fuse u want to find out... There are quite a few different fuses in the fuse box. 10A 20A 30A, fuse for fan, fuse for Engine, fuse for horn?
It is a type of fuse
Each fuse has its own rating. It will be marked on the fuse somewhere.
The plural for fuse is simply fuses.
Automobile Glass fuse
The Horn uses the same fuse as the Cig lighter plug. It is a 15 amp fuse.
it uses a 15amp fuse and goes in slot 13 in the fuse panel
it is the same fuse the horn uses (check it does the horn work?)
Number 13 uses 10 AMP fuse
The 1996 Avalon does not use a fuse that is specific to the seat. The car uses the door fuse link for the power seat.
A table lamp a tv, hi
The cigar lighter actually uses the locks fuse underneath the dash.
It probably uses a circuit breaker instead of a fuse. It's location would depend on what vehicle you have.
It does not have a circuit breaker. It uses a fuse to protect the circuit. Look for a blown fuse in the fuse panel under the dash on the drivers side.I believe the cigarette lighter circuit is protected with a glass barrel fuse not a circuit breaker. Check the fuse box for a blown fuse.
The air conditioner uses fuses 28,62,63..........

I do not know of any vehicle that uses a "steering fuse". I believe someone is pulling your leg.
