How do I choose a fuse type?

Good day, I'm interested in understanding how to select the right fuse type for my electrical needs. Could you please guide me through the process? I'm not familiar with the various types of fuses available and how they differ from each other. What factors should I consider when making this decision? Is there a specific fuse type that's recommended for certain applications? I'd appreciate any insights you can provide to help me make an informed choice.
