What are Fuses?
Fuses have a thick metal strip through which current passes into a circuit. If too much current starts to flow, the metal melts and cuts off the current.
Fuses may be one of several types:
Plug and Type S fuses have a metal strip (visible through a window) that melts when there's an overload.
Time-delay fuses have a spring-loaded strip that allows temporary overloads.
Cartridge fuses show no sign of overload. They must be tested to reveal whether they've blown.
