Fuse is a piece of metal which has a low meltig point and is enclosed in a fireproof case.It is in series with the line.It is always placed before any of the devices it is to protect.This makes the current pass through the fuse before the current goes to the external circuit.
When there is an excessive current because of overloading,the fuse "blows out" and the circuit is broken.
