In a three pin plug: live wire is at a high voltage, neutral wire completes the circuit, earth wire is connected to the case to prevent it becoming live. DOUBLE INSULATED appliances do not need an earth wire.
The fuse (or circuit breaker) is in the live wire. if the current is greater than the rating, the fuse will melt (or circuit breaker switch) breaking the circuit.
