That is called a fuse. A fuse is a protective device, which will interrupt the flow of electricity if it is subjected to a current that is greater than its rating. Some fuses are designed to handle a large inrush of current and are used in circuits such as air conditioners, where a large amount of current is needed at startup, for a short duration and then current drops to a lower level. These are sometimes called time-lag fuses.
A device that melts under high current , not high voltage is a circuit protective fuse. There are many fuses that are rated for voltages in the 10,000 volt range. It is the over current that trips them.
Diodes are rated to use a certain amount of current. If you go over that amount, it will eventually destroy the device, how long it takes to destroy the device depends on how much more current you are running through it than it is rated at.
The only ones that could affect that decision to put one in is if you're planning on smoking or blowing-up that item in the circuit, or the hassle of changing a 20 cent - 5 dollar item instead of the more expensive item.
It is the one type of coil in the electrical motor starters. It is used to release the switch, i.e. turns off the motor, when heavy load is connected to the motor. It is used for the protection purpose.
A fuse is the simplest protective device for over current in an electric circuit.

a device through which citizens could protect themselves from the enroachments of government hence protective democracy.
A protective device that operates when voltage exceeds nominal by some set amount. These are often coupled with a timer.
If this is a new device check to make sure there isn't a piece of protective plastic over the lens.
In a service drop conductor the only limiting factor is the first over current device down stream from the service.
