They protect the rest of the circuit when the current goes to high, usually, because of a short circuit
short circuit means a very low resistance is connecting the source terminals
then according to ohm's law,
Current = Voltage / Resistance
I = V/R
as R -> 0
I -> Infinity
assuming a fuse of 10A, when a short circuit occur, the current starts getting high
once it passes the 10A limit of the fuse, the circuit gets disconnected from the source
A Fuse is an electrical element used in electrical circuits to give protection to the systems against high current flow.It prevents the hazardious conditions as a safety device.

Core plugs are also called?
Core plugs are also known as freeze plugs or expansion plugs. They are used to seal the holes left in an engine block after the casting process.
When are Bussmann fuses used usually?
Cooper Bussmann is a brand name for a specific type of fuses. These fuses are used with circuit breakers to ensure that the circuit does not become overloaded, resulting the failure of the circuit.
What happens when Shirley goes down to change the fuses?
Shirley changes the blown fuses to restore power to the affected electrical systems. This allows for the proper functioning of devices and appliances that were previously not working due to the blown fuses.
Do you need two 30 amp fuses for a dryer?
Yes, typically electric dryers require two 30 amp fuses to operate properly. These fuses protect the dryer from electrical overload and should be installed in the dryer's electrical circuit. It's important to check the dryer's manual or consult with a professional to ensure the correct fuses are used.
When did circuit breakers replace fuses in homes?
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.
Why are your glow plugs not working?
check fuses
Your cigarette plug and 12 volt plugs stopped working in your 2001 Nissan Xterra where are the fuses located?
There are 2 fuses for the cigarette plugs, one is in the fuse panel to the left of the steering column, the other is in the fuse box located behind the battery in the engine compartment.
What causes a vehicle to die?

under the hood and one in the trunk...the one in the trunk has the fuses for your auxiliary plugs, cigarette lighter
My 1989 Mercury Tracer just cranks and won't fire It has spark out of the coil but not to the plugs Checked timing and fuses?
timing belt broke?
No spark at plugs on 2001 dodge Dakota?
check your distributor cap and rotor, check the coil, check the wires, check fuses for ignition.
Why fuses used in plugs are colour coded?
Fuses in plugs are color-coded to indicate their current rating and provide a quick visual reference for users. Each color corresponds to a specific amperage, making it easier to select the appropriate fuse for a given appliance's power requirements. This helps prevent overloading and potential electrical hazards, ensuring safety and proper functioning of the device. Additionally, color coding aids in the identification of fuses during replacements or inspections.
How do you check if you have spark at the spark plug wires?
you would take out the spark plugs still attached to the spark wires. place the metal of the plugs onto a grounded metal spot. make sure they are not touching in order to prevent damaging them or blowing fuses.
Why do you need fuses?
We need fuses to make things that we buy with plugs work, like kettles, hair dryers and other important things that we use all over the home. Other wise without them noting work would unless it was powered by batterys.
Are homes on a series circuit?
No. Plugs, lamps and 220 V a.c. items are in parallel with the breakers.CorrectionAll loads are in parallel with the supply voltage, but in series with the circuit breakers or fuses.
What is bs fuse for?
Depends on the fuse, as there are many fuses that comply with BS standards. BS 3036 (re-wirable) and BS 1361/1362 are found in the plugs of many appliances....
