I'm curious, could you elaborate on what exactly occurs when a fuse blows in the context of electrical systems? Do the appliances connected to the circuit suffer any damage? Is there a risk of fire or electrocution? And what's the proper procedure for replacing a blown fuse to ensure safety and restore power flow?

A fuse wire is a thin metal strip that acts as a sacrificial LINK in the circuit.

When an excessive amount of current flows through the circuit, the fuse wire heats up rapidly.

This heating causes the metal strip to melt and eventually break, creating an open circuit.

Electrical circuits are designed to carry current safely, but sometimes, they encounter issues that can lead to overloads.

The opening of the circuit prevents the flow of current, thus protecting the appliances and wiring from potential damage.
