What is the purpose of fuses?

Correct answer

To prevent an increase in current from damaging any element of the electrical circuit.

Fuses are small safety devices whose function is to protect the vehicle's electrical components so that, if an excessive electric current occurs that could damage the electrical system, the fuse breaks, cutting off the flow of electric current and preventing any of these components from being damaged.
