# What are Blown Fuses?
Fuses are safety devices installed in electrical systems to protect wires from overloads or short circuits. A blown fuse indicates:
– **Too many appliances/devices drawing power** on a single circuit, overloading the fuse’s capacity.
– **Worn or faulty electrical equipment** can draw excess current blowing the fuse, like a appliance motor or switch.
– **Accidental crossings** of electrical wires causing an overload short.
– **Loose connections** between terminals and the fuse itself hinders normal power flow.

Blown fuses should be replaced with properly rated replacements only after determining and addressing the root overloading cause. left unaddressed, fuses may continue blowing.
