Fuses include a metal component designed to heat up when current runs through them. The more current, the hotter the metal gets. When too much current runs through the fuse, the metal heats up enough to separate, breaking the circuit. This means that rating a fuse at the same amperage as the circuit will produce the maximum heat in the fuse without actually breaking the circuit. For this reason the National Electrical Code recommends limiting the amount of current in a circuit to 80% of the fuse rating in that circuit. In other words a 40A fuse would be appropriate for a circuit with a maximum of 32A continuous. This is why you will see many fuse blocks with maximum continuous amperage ratings around 80% of the largest available fuse.
