The fuse of breaker protects the wiring from overheating and catching on fire.
What else can I help you with?
What gauge wire do you need for?
It depends on where the wire is being used, but for the power supply for an ordinary domestic audio amplifier, wire of 0.75 mmsq is adequate, and need to be protected by a 5-amp fuse.
Why can't copper wire used as a fuse wire?
Metal with a lower melting point is preferred for fuse wire to reduce the risk of fire.
A fuse should be conected between?
A fuse should be connected in the live wire, before reaching the appliance.
What wire in a circuit should contain the fuse?
The wire that connects the power source to the rest of the circuit should contain the fuse. This is typically the wire that leads directly from the positive terminal of the battery or power source. Placing the fuse in this wire helps protect the circuit in case of a short circuit or overload.

Can a red wire be neutral?
In ordinary circumstances, a red wire is a secondary hot wire in an AC circuit, or the positive power leg in a DC circuit. Red should not be used as a neutral. If it is used for something other than a hot wire it must be labeled on the wire at all connection points- and would STILL be a bad idea.
Does subwoofer have fuse?

Does ordinary wire burn out easily?
Not if it is secured and tightened properly and has the correct size breaker installed for the wire size used.
What type of wire is used in fuse and why?
Fuse wire is usually made with metal that has a low melting point, e.g. tin, to lessen the risk of fire.
