As when a fault occurs in the domestic lines there is a protective device called fuse which breaks the circuit and protects all the equipments by melting the low melting point wire wrapped to it in order to interrupt supply. Thus, both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
