What is the main function of fuse?

Answer Posted / subham mohanty

The function of a fuse is usually to prevent fire - that's the basic protection a fuse offers - between power supply and appliance there may be a few feet or metres of cable - if a short circuit occurs in the appliance, the cable could easily become overheated (due to excess current) and burn or rupture its insulation.
