Abstract
A temperature fuse assembly for a high-power DC circuit is provided. The temperature fuse assembly includes a case extending from a first case end to a second case end and an isolated lead projecting from the second case end. A bushing electrically isolates the isolated lead from the case. A high-gauge wire is electrically connected to the case at a first wire end and electrically connected to the isolated lead at a second wire end. A portion of the high-gauge wire is helically wound about an exterior of the bushing. When a temperature of the temperature fuse assembly exceeds a threshold temperature, the temperature fuse assembly is configured to conduct a DC current of the high-power DC circuit through the high-gauge wire. The high-gauge wire is configured to melt under a load of the DC current and interrupt the high-power DC circuit.
