Option 1 : Low melting point

The material used for fuse elements must have the following properties:

Low melting point
Low ohmic loss
High conductivity (or low resistivity)
Low cost
Free from detraction

:

The material mainly used for fuse element are tin, lead, silver, copper, zinc, aluminium, and an alloy of lead and tin
An alloy of lead and tin is used for small current rating fuses
For current exceeding 15 A, this alloy is not used as the diameters of the wire will be larger and after fusing the metal released will be excessive
Beyond 15 A rating circuit, copper wire fuses are employed
