: '''Fuses''' are a thin piece of [[wire]] which is designed to [[melt]] when the [[Electrical Current|current]] through the [[wire]] is too large.
: '''Fuses''' are found inside [[Electrical Plug|plugs]] and are used to reduce the risk caused by a power surge.
: The '''fuse''' in a [[Electrical Plug|plug]] is connected to the [[Live Wire|live wire]].
