A fuse is a safety device that lies in series in a circuit between an electrical source and its associated load(s). When the current, or flow of electricity, exceeds its designed threshold, the fuse is calibrated to permanently open the series circuit, thereby disconnecting the load(s) from the power source. Unlike circuit breakers, which can be reset to allow current to flow again, once a fuse disconnects, it must be discarded and replaced with a new fuse.

What is the used of the fuse in the power supply?
Fuse is used to protect against over load. The fuse blows off if there is overloading in the circuit. This prevents the flow of current in the circuit beyond the position of the fuse. The equipment which is overloaded in the circuit is thus saved.
What is the advantage of a breaker over a fuse when used in your home?
A fuse is a one-time device; once it is used, it is no good. A breaker can be reset.
