Every fuse is rated for some certain current. The rating is the maximum current
that can flow through the fuse before the wire in it gets so hot that it melts and
opens the circuit. (In the arcane jargon of the high-tech world of engineering,
especially electrical, this event is described by saying that the fuse "blew".)
The thinner the wire is, the less current it can conduct before the wire melts.
The thicker the wire is, the more current it can carry before the wire melts.
So, the wire you select for your fuse completely depends on the current for
which you want to rate your fuse, and above which you want it to "blow".

What do fuses do?
Structure and use of a fuse: A fuse contains of a metal contact cap,glass casing,thin metal wire with a low melting point.When the electric appliances is faluty,the excess electric current will flow through the crcuit.Owing to the heating effect of elecric current,a large amount of heat will be produced.The circuit may thus occured a fire.The installation of fuse can stop excessive electric current.the low melting point thin wire in the fuse will melt and break the circuit in order to protect the electric appliances and prevent a fire.But fuse is quite unconvenient that after it's bruned out,you need to replace a new one. fuse rating: fuse rating refers to the amount of electric current that can flow through the fuse without melting the thin metal wire.The higher rating can provide larger electric current.We should choose a greater ampere fuse than the electric appliances in order to prevent the breaking of circuit when electric appliances are working normally. The similar appliances:Circuit Breaker The use of a circuit breaker is similar to a fuse.When an electric current increases suddening and exceeds the circuit breaker's raging,the circuit breaker will turn to"OFF" switch automatically and break the circuit in order to protect the electric appliances and prevent a fire.It's more convenient than a fuse cause you only need to turn to"ON"switch when reconnected.
