The fuse in a plug protects the electrical circuit and connected appliances from excess current. If the current exceeds the fuse's rated limit, it melts and breaks the circuit, preventing overheating and potential fire hazards. This safety mechanism ensures that appliances are not damaged by electrical faults or surges. Overall, it plays a crucial role in maintaining safe electrical operation.
