2. Fuse (electrical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuse_(electrical)

   A fuse consists of a metal strip or wire fuse element, of small cross-section compared to the circuit conductors, mounted between a pair of electrical terminals, and (usually) enclosed by a non-combustible housing. The fuse is arranged in series to carry all the charge passing through the protected circuit. The resistance of the element ...

3. Automotive fuse - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_fuse

   UK size, type UK, 35 A to 50 A, 1 ⁄ 4 inch (6.4 mm) diameter by 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 inches (32 mm) long [10] These and other fuses are still being manufactured for many applications, including for AC circuits and DC uses. Some are time delayed, slow reacting, or have leads for terminals used in circuits without a fuse holder.

4. Fusible link - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusible_link

   An electrical fusible link is a type of electrical fuse that is constructed simply with a short piece of wire typically four American wire gauge (AWG) sizes smaller than the wire that is being protected. For example, an AWG 16 fusible link might be used to protect AWG 12 wiring.

5. IEC 60269 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60269

   In electrical engineering, IEC 60269 is a set of technical standards for low-voltage power fuses. [1] The standard is in four volumes, which describe general requirements, fuses for industrial and commercial applications, fuses for residential applications, and fuses to protect semiconductor devices.

6. Fuse cutout - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuse_cutout

   The fuse holder, also called the "fuse tube" or "door", an insulating tube which contains the replaceable fuse element. When the contained fuse melts ("blows"), it opens the circuit, and the fuse holder drops out of the upper contact and hangs from a hinge on its lower end.

7. Fuse (hydraulic) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuse_(hydraulic)

   The term "fuse" is used here in analogy with electrical fuses which perform a similar function. Hydraulic systems rely on high pressures (usually over 7000 kPa ) to work properly. If a hydraulic system loses fluid pressure, such as due to a burst hydraulic hose, it will become inoperative and components such as actuators may collapse.
