Question

Accepted Answer

A fuse is an electrical safety device that protects electrical circuits from overloading and short circuits. Its maximum rating depends on the application.

A fuse contains a metal wire or filament that melts when the current exceeds a certain level, breaking the circuit and preventing damage to the equipment or wiring.
Fuses are rated based on their current-carrying capacity and voltage rating.
Examples of fuse ratings include 1A, 5A, 10A, 20A, etc.
Fuses are commonly used in household appliances, automobiles, and industrial equipment.
It is important to use the correct fuse rating for the application to ensure proper protection and prevent damage or fire hazards.
