Is spot welding is fusion welding?
Yes, no filler metal is used. Often used on thin metals, the metals are pressed together and electricity is used to heat the metals to a state they melt slightly and fuse together.
Why are fuses used for protection of resistive loads?
Fuses actually have a lower resistance that the wire or carrier that is carrying current to and from the fuse. The purpose of a fuse is so that it will burn out before the carrier burns out. When a fuse burns out it breaks the current and therefore no more electricity can pass through it until the fuse is replaced. You gauge the fuse for a little more current than you normally have traveling through the wire. If a power surge of electricity comes through the wire the fuse will burn out instead of damaging the electrical device that is plugged into or wired into the carrier.
