Instead of blowing a fuse you'll blow up a light bulb if there is a surge.

Can parallel circuits be used instead of fuses?
No. Parallel circuits are not fuses. Fuses can be used to protect parallel circuits.

Why do some circuits have a fuse?
To protect the components in the circuit from overcurrents.
Do fuses protect against - A short circuits B overoading C lightning surges D large ground faults?
Short circuits.
What devices can help protect homes from overloaded circuits?
Circuit breaker or fuse.fuse
Is a circuit breaker better than a glass fuse?
Each device has its own special use. Glass fuses can protect circuit at very low amperages. They are usually used to protect printed circuit boards and control panel circuits. Breakers protect circuits from short circuits and overloads. These devices are used in service distribution panels to protect the wires that feed the loads. Circuit breakers can be from 15 amps up into the thousands of amps.
Do parallel circuits share a circuit?
No they dont sice they are having more the
How are series circuits used in air conditioning equipment?
series circuits are used in all safety's in hvac.
What do fuses and circuit breakers protect circuits from?
They protect the downstream components from spikes in the eletrical system.CommentFuses and circuit breakers do not protect against 'spikes', which are near-instantaneous voltage increases. Fuses and circuit breakers are overcurrent protection devices, which protect appliances against excessive current due to overloads or short circuits. CommentFuses and circuit breakers are used to protect the wire feeder that supplies the load. A load could be connected to a circuit that would cause an increase of amperage above what the wire is rated for. If this condition happens the fuse or circuit breaker will open the load from the supply service.
how are circuits used in air conditioning equipment?
for safety to protect other operating devices used
