Abstract
An electric fuse having a gas evolving substance to generate arc-quenching blasts of gas when arcing inside the fuse occurs. Fuses of this type are known. However, fuses according to present fuses are far simpler to manufacture than prior art fuses of this description. They comprise a block of gas evolving material shorter than the diameter of the casing of the fuse arranged substantially transversely to and between a pair of fusible elements, the pair of fusible elements hugging a portion of the periphery of the block so as to position the block loosely at a predetermined point between the terminal elements.
