A fuse is a deliberate weak link which will be blown if there is a power overload. When you blow a fuse, take the blown fuse out and throw it away as you would a blown light bulb, and replace it with another fuse of the same type. * In the old-timey fuse boxes a penny could be substituted for a fuse, but a penny is too strong to be blown, and the next overload will burn the house down.
