Fuses are normally associated in series with the component(s) to be protected from over-current, so that when the fuse blows (opens) it's going to open the whole circuit and prevent cutting-edge through the ingredient

What fuses and circuit breakers provide protection in the event of?
Short circuit fault.
How do fuses or circuit breakers help protect homes?
During an electrical fault, be it a short circuit or circuit overload, fuses and breakers are designed to open at a specific amperage. This opening of either device eliminates a fire hazard before it gets a chance to start. This is how fuses and breakers protect the home.
When did circuit breakers replace fuses in homes?
1950's
Is a circuit breaker an alternative fuses?
Circuit breakers do the same thing as fuses. They interrupt current flow when a certain preset point is reached. The difference between circuit breakers and fuses are that circuit breakers are resettable and reusable, whereas fuses are one time devices that must be replaced after they blow.
What are the main protective devices in a power system?
Circuit Breakers or fuses.
What protects circuits and their components?
Fuses, fuseable links and circuit breakers.
