• Definitions:
• Device used for cutting off an electrical current in the event of an abusive condition.
• This is a two-terminal device that is normally a low resistive element and is programmed or "blown" resulting in an open or high impedance. Typical materials are nichrome and polysilicon. This is element is inherently radiation-hard.
• A device often found in older homes designed to prevent overloads in electrical lines. See Circuit Breakers.
• A short plug in an electric panel box which opens (breaks) an electrical circuit when it becomes overloaded.
• A small device in an electrical circuit that is designed to shut down the circuit in the event of an electrical overload or short circuit.
• A safety device with a metal wire or strip that melts when the current gets too strong, cutting off the flow of the electrical current.
• A device in a circuit containing a thin wire that will break if too much current flows
• a component designed to protect electronic circuits.
• A protective device in a circuit which prevents circuit overload by breaking the circuit when a specific amperage is present. The device is constructed around a strip or wire of a lower amperage rating than the circuit it is designed to protect. ...
• A device designed to provide protection for a given circuit or device by physically opening the circuit. Fuses are rated by their amperage capacity and are designed to "blow" or open when the current drawn through the fuses exceeds the rated limit.
• An overcurrent protective device with a fusible link that operates and opens the circuit on an overcurrent condition. Top Of Page
• A metal strip in an electrical circuit that melts and breaks the circuit when excessive current flows through it.
• Fuses are safety devices, which protect electrical appliances by preventing too much electricity flowing into them. The fuse is a thin wire inside a protective case. If the flow of electricity becomes too powerful, the wire melts and stops the current flowing.
• A protection device found on the line. It is used to protect the system from faults. For example, if a fault occurs beyond the fuse point, the fuse will blow but the rest of the system will stay alive. When the fuse is blown, it sounds like a gun shot. ...
• An electrical device that breaks the current in a circuit that is overloaded or shorted; it prevents damage to other components. However, the fuse itself may fail, and the most common repair when a fuse blows is to simply replace it without working on any other electrical component.
• vt> [fused, fuses, fusing, fused]
• An overcurrent protection device with a circuit-opening fusible part which is heated and severed by the passage of overcurrent through it.
• a device that melts if too much electric current is flowing through a circuit
• A protective device in the current path that melts or breaks when current exceeds a predetermined maximum value.
• a device to prevent too large an electric current passing through a circuit; consists of a piece of thin wire that melts if it becomes heated; this breaks the circuit and acts as a safety device
• that opens a circuit when the fusible link is melted
• A replaceable protective device that breaks a circuit when the current becomes abnormally high. A fast-blow fuse is generally used in delicate circuits, whereas a slow-blow fuse is use in more rugged ones. See Circuit Breaker.
• An electrical overcurrent device that opens a circuit when it melts due to excess current flow through it.
• An electrical device which protects a circuit against accidental overload. The typical fuse contains a soft piece of metal which is calibrated to melt at a predetermined current flow (expressed as amps) and break the circuit.
• A non-reusable overcurrent protection device. After tripping to break the circuit, it must be replaced to restore power to the circuit.
• blend: mix together different elements; "The colors blend well" become plastic or fluid or liquefied from heat; "The substances fused at a very high temperature" an electrical device that can interrupt the flow of electrical current when it is overloaded equip with a fuse; provide with a fuse make liquid or plastic by heating; "The storm fused the electric mains" any igniter that is used to initiate the burning of a propellant
• The Free Unix Spectrum Emulator (Fuse) is an emulator of the 1980s home computer Sinclair Spectrum and its various clones for Unix, GP2X and Mac OS X. Fuse is free software, released under the GNU General Public Licence.
• In hydraulic systems, a fuse is a component which prevents the sudden loss of hydraulic fluid pressure. It is a safety feature, designed to allow systems to continue operating, or at least to not fail catastrophically, in the event of a system breach.
• Fuse is the debut rock album by Fuse, released in 1969 (see 1969 in music). This is the only album the band released before they broke up, with members going on to form Cheap Trick and Silver Fox.
• In electronics and electrical engineering a fuse, short for 'fusible link', is a type of overcurrent protection device. ...
• In an explosive, pyrotechnic device or military munition, a fuse (or fuze) is the part of the device that initiates function. In common usage, the word fuse is used indiscriminately. ...
• A chocolate bar produced by Cadbury's UK. A solid bar of chocolate containing nuts and raisins...mmmm Yummy. It was the tastiest bar of all time, bar none.
• A fuse is where the work of a Fusebox web application is done. They are small separate files that are called by the Fusebox to do one and only one task. Fuses start with dsp_, lay_, act_ or qry_ to separate out the display, layout, CFML and SQL parts of the code.
• Fuse is a Canadian radio program, which airs on CBC Radio One and on CBC Radio 3's satellite radio channel. Beginning March 25, 2007, the program will also air on CBC Radio Two. ...
• Fuse is an album by Joe Henry released on March 9 1999 (see 1999 in music).
• Fuse is the seventh studio album by Canadian blues/rock musician Colin James released in 2000 (see 2000 in music).
