   Fuses and circuit breakers are two commonly used mechanisms for overload protection. [4] A fuse contains a short piece of wire which melts if too much current flows. This effectively disconnects the power supply from its load, and the equipment stops working until the problem that caused the overload is identified and the fuse is replaced.
