A properly installed fuse panel does that job. Where danger appears is in misuse \u2014 and that&#8217;s exactly what insurers worry about.<\/p><\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"section band\"><div class=\"wrap\"><div class=\"narrow center\"><span class=\"kicker\">How it works<\/span><h2 style=\"margin:14px 0 8px\">Fuse vs breaker<\/h2><\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-2\"><div class=\"card\"><h3>The fuse<\/h3><p>Current passes through the fuse.

Plug fuses are all the same size and easy to swap. When a 15 A fuse keeps blowing, the (bad) reflex is to fit a bigger one: 20 A, then 30 A\u2026 The result: the fuse stops blowing, but <strong>the whole installation overheats<\/strong> \u2014 wiring, outlets, components. That&#8217;s when the fire risk becomes real. The fuse wasn&#8217;t the problem: it was doing its job.
