A fuse is simply a short wire that melts and breaks when the current flow is too high. They have been used as important safety devices since the early days of electrical engineering. They are often abbreviated as ADS (Automatic Disconnection of Supply). In all areas of electronics and electrical engineering, a fuse is an electrical safety device that protects an electrical circuit from overcurrent. A typical fuse consists of a metal strip or melting wire arranged in series to conduct current through the protected circuit. The fuse element is usually made of zinc, silver, aluminum, copper, or alloys, providing stable and predictable characteristics. The breaking capacity of a ceramic fuse is higher than that of any other fuse. Ceramic fuses can be used in circuits with high current. They also provide protection against overheating.
