Fuses

Safety devices that protect circuits by melting under overload conditions.

Fuses are critical safety devices used to protect electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits by melting a conductive element when excessive current flows through. They are available in various types, including cartridge, blade, and resettable fuses, and comply with standards such as UL 248 and IEC 60269. Common applications include residential, commercial, and industrial settings where they safeguard electrical equipment from damage.
