   Fuses, International

In electronics and electrical engineering a fuse, short for 'fusible link', is a type of overcurrent protection device. It has as its critical component a metal wire or strip that will melt when heated by a prescribed electric current, opening the circuit of which it is a part, and so protecting the circuit from an overcurrent condition.

A practical fuse was one of the essential features of Edison's electrical power distribution system. An early fuse was said to have successfully protected an Edison installation from tampering by a rival from a gas-lighting concern.

Properly-selected fuses (or other overcurrent devices) are an essential part of a power distribution system to prevent fire or damage due to overload or short-circuits. Usually the maximum size of the overcurrent device for a circuit is regulated by law. For example, the Canadian Electrical Code, the United States National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), and the UK Wiring Regulations provide limits for overcurrent device ampere rating for a given conductor, insulation material and installation conditions. Local authorities will incorporate these national codes as part of law. An overcurrent device should normally be selected with a rating just over the normal operating current of the downstream wiring or equipment which it is to protect.
