1. An apparatus for compensating for resistance tolerances of a tolerance-affected fuse of a circuit, the apparatus comprising:
a first resistor connected in series with the tolerance-affected fuse; and
a second resistor connected in parallel with the tolerance-affected fuse and with the first resistor;
wherein the apparatus has, at a predefined ambient temperature, a resistance which corresponds to a desired total resistance; and
wherein a resistance of the second resistor, comprising a resistance value at least ten times higher in relation to the first resistor, is selected depending on at least one of (i) a power input into the apparatus in a fault state and (ii) a predefined tolerance of the resistance of the apparatus.
