fuses rated by amperes but not power,why?

Answer / sudarsun
Fuses work based on the principle where the fuse wire melts
when power dissipated is beyond a threshold. The power
dissipated as heat at the fuse wire is given by P=I*I*R.
Since the resistance of the fuse wire is constant (based on
the materials and diameter) for a given fuse wire, it would
be easier to rate it in terms of Ampere.
The greater the thickness, lesser the resistance, so more is
the current required to heat the wire to melting. So higher
ampere rated fuse wires are thicker and low ampere rated
wires are thinner.
Also, the power dissipated as heat on the fuses is very low,
so measuring based on power dissipated is not intuitive.

Answer / doss
fuse is one of the protection for load .also we called fuse is low melting point.current only can make heat and melt the fuse. when the load side get any problem ,load going to take over current .so the over current flow through the fuse and melt the fuse and break the circuit.fuse selection is depends upon the load.its a simple protection.

Answer / anand
power is depend on the Amps amphire only varried in circuits.
P=V *I* Cos@
Power and voltage constant only variable parts is I and Cos @.
tahts wy we are taken the amps is the reference.

What is the equipment used to control the generator output?
give me name of current and volatge control device
what is alternator?
if we convert kva into Ampers,which one formula use by us,pls tell me?
simple way to find busbar sizes??
why we use the fuse in only one wire? althrough in ac current the current flows in both directions. why the neutral wire can be taken half the magnitude of phase wire while same current returns from neutral wire?
why we do not get the electric shock at end of returning water of water cooled cable

please I wont know how to calculate the vector group for power transformer ZNyn11 best regard.
For refrigerators the motor current is raised beyond its rating on both conditions when the voltage of the system is more(say 270v) than the rated voltage(220v) as well as when the voltage of system is less(say 160v) than normal voltageof 220v, why explain?
