If you are talking about the circuits load being to large for the circuits capacity, then the circuits over current or over load protection will come into effect. The fault will open the circuit, thereby isolating the load from the electrical supply source.

In a fused circuit, if the current becomes higher that the rating of the fuse, the circuit will open. The fuses link becomes hot under the influence of the higher current and melts. This melting of the link opens the circuit that the fuse is in.
