An electrical fuse is an electrical instrument that is used to prevent damage to an electrical circuit.
It is a metal wire of low melting point that breaks due to overheating of wire which is caused by a high voltage to avoid short circuit.
Some materials which are feasible for fuse wire are an alloy of Tin (Sn) and Lead(Pb) because they have a low melting point.
