    This document discusses electricity and safety devices used in electric circuits. It describes how fuses prevent excessive electric current from damaging appliances by cutting off the supply when tripped. Fuses come in different forms like fuse wire, cartridge fuse, and ceramic fuse. The document also explains that miniature circuit breakers work similarly to fuses but automatically trip off during short circuits or overloads to prevent harm. A warning is provided about unplugging devices during electrical storms.

    Electric fuse
    • Fuse is a safety device used in an electric circuit.

    • It prevents a large amount of electric current from


    flowing into any electrical appliance or device as it
    cuts off the supply of electric current. This prevents
    any further damage to the appliance or device.

    Miniature circuit breaker
    • Miniature circuit breaker is a device that
    works like a fuse.
    • The only difference being that, it is an
    automatically operated electric switch.
    • It trips or goes OFF automatically in case
    of a short circuit or when there is an
    electricity overload.
