To protect the wiring within a circuit from overheating and possibly causing a fire. When more current flows through the circuit than it is safely able to carry the fuse will blow. Assuming the correct amp fuse is used in the circuit. It will also blow if there is a short in the wiring. It is very important to always use the correct fuse.
