Any electric circuit need to be equipped with electric fuses to protect the electric appliances or any electric/electronic equipment from damage due to unexpected electric current sudden or transient increase.
No. Parallel circuits are not fuses. Fuses can be used to protect parallel circuits.
Because all electrical circuits need over-current protection.
They are fuses, they do what fuses do, protect electrical circuits.
Fuses don't operate anything,you do. fuses protect electrical circuits from overload
Fuses, fuseable links and circuit breakers.
Circuit breakers started replacing fuses in homes in the 1960s and 1970s as a safer alternative for protecting electrical circuits. Circuit breakers are more convenient as they can be reset, whereas fuses need to be replaced when they blow.
Electrical circuits are protected by: 1) Fuses 2) Circuit Breakers and/or 3) Fusable links

Short circuits.
Fuses and circuit breakers are used to protect the wiring and devices from overload and heating caused by short circuits, short circuits that, if unprotected, could cause major damage and/or fire due to excessive current.
Insulation in good condition and keeping equipment enclosures on and tight are two things to prevent short circuits. Fuses and breakers do not prevent short circuits. They eliminate damage that could be caused by short circuits.
