If you look at the short term surge current rating of the breakers in your main panel you will find short term currents mesured in thousands of amps. The purpose of the fuse in your equipment is to avoid those types of current flow should your equipment short. Even though that current may only flow for milliseconds, it is enough time for your wiring to heat dramatically before the wiring blows open. That is how electrical fires start!
