2. Fuse (electrical) - Wikipedia

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

   Normal fast-blow fuses are the most general purpose fuses. A time-delay fuse (also known as an anti-surge or slow-blow fuse) is designed to allow a current which is above the rated value of the fuse to flow for a short period of time without the fuse blowing. These types of fuse are used on equipment such as motors, which can draw larger than ...

3. Fuse cutout - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuse_cutout

   The fuse element, or "fuse link", is the replaceable portion of the assembly that melts and breaks the circuit when the electric current through it exceeds its rated current value. There are many types of fuse elements for many different uses such as a type T fuse also known as a "slow-blow fuse" being used for sidelines.

4. eFuse - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFuse

   In computing, an eFuse (electronic fuse) is a microscopic fuse put into a computer chip. This technology was invented by IBM in 2004 [ 1 ] to allow for the dynamic real-time reprogramming of chips. In the abstract, computer logic is generally "etched" or "hard-wired" onto a chip and cannot be changed after the chip has finished being manufactured.

5. Electrical fault - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_fault

   An open-circuit fault occurs if a circuit is interrupted by a failure of a current-carrying wire (phase or neutral) or a blown fuse or circuit breaker. In three-phase systems, a fault may involve one or more phases and ground, or may occur only between phases. In a "ground fault" or "earth fault", current flows into the earth.

6. Antifuse - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifuse

   An antifuse is an electrical device that performs the opposite function to a fuse.Whereas a fuse starts with a low resistance and is designed to permanently break or open an electrically conductive path (typically when the current through the path exceeds a specified limit), an antifuse starts with a high resistance—an open circuit—and programming it converts it into a permanent ...

7. Crowbar (circuit) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowbar_(circuit)

   Once triggered, they depend on the current-limiting circuitry of the power supply or, if that fails, the blowing of the line fuse or tripping the circuit breaker. The name is derived from having the same effect as throwing a crowbar over exposed power supply terminals to short the output.

8. 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.

9. Polyfuse (PROM) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyfuse_(PROM)

   Earlier fuses had to be blown using a laser at the time memory was manufactured. Polyfuses were developed to replace the earlier nickel-chromium (ni-chrome) fuses. Because ni-chrome contains nickel, the ni-chrome fuse, once blown had a tendency to grow back and render the memory unusable.
