The most modern fuse is current limiting. A fuse will restrict fault currents to such low values that a high degree of protection is given to circuit components against even very high short-circuit currents. They permit breakers with lower interrupting ratings to be used.
When how much current flows in the fuse it melts?
If current higher than 8 A flows through the fuse, it would melt and circuit gets broken.

What happens when too much electricity flows through a circuit?
If a short circuit occurs—or even if too many appliances get hooked up to one wire so that too much current flows—the wire in the fuse heats up quickly and melts, breaking the circuit and preventing a fire from starting.
