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.

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.
