Fuse wire is a protective device which opens the circuit by melting itself in case the amount of current is increased above a specific value, and thereby protects the appliance against any damage.

A Fuse is connected in series to live conductor to enable its operation i.e. cut-off current to the appliance once the value of current crosses upper limit of the rated value
