Ah, that’s because the fuse wire is made to be the weak link, beta—it melts first to save our appliances. But in our old house in Rajajinagar, sometimes the connecting wires *do* get hot and soften near the joints! I’ve seen the insulation peel. It’s because the wiring is so old and frayed, the current finds a bad path. So while the textbook says only the fuse melts, my life says even the connecting wires can suffer if they are tired and overworked, just like my amma managing the household budget.
