It depends on what material is being used up for the fuse.

generally zinc copper silver and aluminium are used for the making of the fuse.

the M.P of Al is 660 degree celsius

for Zn it is 419.5 degree celsius.

An electronic fuse is a low resistance resistor that provides protection in the event of a load overcurrent. Short circuits, device failure or overloading can cause a load overcurrent. In an electronic fuse, a metal wire melts in the event of an overcurrent, therefore causing an interruption in the circuit
a fuse wire are generaally have high resistance and low melting point .
so, it will vary acc to the material used in the fuse wire ,
in electric circuits in powerstation its something diffrent and in household bulb its something diffrent .

LET ME KNOW U WANT TO KNOW ABT WHICH ONE ?/
