In electronics and electrical engineering, a fuse is an electrical safety device that operates to provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit. Its essential component is a metal wire or strip that melts when too much current flows through it, thereby stopping or interrupting the current.
Robert L. Boylestad (born 1939) was professor emeritus of electrical and computer technology at Queensborough Community College, part of the City University of New York, [1] [2] and was an assistant dean in the Thayer School of Engineering of Dartmouth College.
In an electric power system, a fault or fault current is any abnormal electric current. For example, a short circuit is a fault in which a live wire touches a neutral or ground wire. An open-circuit fault occurs if a circuit is interrupted by a failure of a current-carrying wire (phase or neutral) or a blown fuse or circuit breaker.

[1] [2] As its name suggests, a cylinder fuse is shaped like a cylinder. It has a thin wire or metal alloy strip in the middle, and two metal caps, one on each end, which are used as contacts when it is inserted (in series) into an electrical circuit. The thin wire is designed to melt at a specific temperature which is reached when the circuit ...
