The purpose is to cause an open in a circuit if the current in the circuit exceeds a given value...
That value is determined by the wiring size for that particular circuit...

The wires on your place are rated for a definite amperage or modern-day, in case you pass over they are in a position to soften or doubtlessly capture the homestead on hearth. The Circuit breakers and fuses are there to make certain you do not soften your wires and pass over modern-day. I dont artwork on properties however the fuses I put in machines are to guard cord not the component. Its alot much less stressful to interchange and electric component then run new cord.

They limit the amount of current allowed in the circuit, which keeps the wires from possibly overheating and causing a fire.
