Abstract
A method is for protecting an electrical architecture including a protective device provided with a protective fuse capable of melting in a deteriorated mode of operation during which a breaking current having an amperage greater than a threshold is flowing through the architecture. The method includes, in a nominal mode of operation, periodically estimating a temperature of the fuse and controlling an amperage of a useful current flowing through the fuse such that the estimated temperature remains below a melting temperature of the fuse.
