   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. [16] [11] Many of the fuse dimensions and characteristics are published by the Society of Automotive Engineers as Standard SAE ...

   Fuses of these ratings should be interchangeable and be readily identified." [ 53 ] The original BS 1363:1947 specified fuse ratings of 3 A, 7 A and 13 A. [ 54 ] The current version of the fuse standard, BS 1362:1973, allows any fuse rating up to 13 A, with 3 A (coloured red) and 13 A (coloured brown) as the preferred (but not mandated) values ...

   The 12 V power circuit is protected by a car fuse, often rated at 10 to 20 amperes, which provides 120 to 240 watts of power. Large appliances such as hair dryers or toasters draw too much power to be fed from an auxiliary power socket.

5. 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.

6. Edison screw - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edison_screw

   Some adapters for wall outlets use an Edison screw, allowing a light socket to become an ungrounded electrical outlet (such as to install Christmas lights temporarily via a porch light), or to make a pull-chain switch with two outlets, or to split it for two lamps. Another adapter can make a wall outlet into a lamp holder (lamp socket).

   Left: Spanish three-pin plug (Eunea 3023-B/Metropoli) and socket (Eunea 3013-B) with removable fuse. Right: adaptor for CEE 7/17 and CEE 7/4 plugs. Some older industrial buildings in Spain used sockets that took a plug rated for higher current and had two flat contacts and a round earth pin, somewhat similar in design to the ones found on ...
