Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

If something occurs in the appliance that causes it to draw more than its anticipated rated current, the fuse will 'blow' thus breaking the circuit and protecting the rest of the appliance and the house wiring . This will protect the user and protect the house from fire.
