The symbol for a fuse.

A fuse is an electrical component which prevents very large currents in a circuit.

Fuses are a thin piece of wire which is designed to melt when the current through the wire is too large.

Fuses are found inside plugs and are used to reduce the risk caused by a power surge.

The fuse in a plug is connected to the live wire.
