Abstract
An arc quenching, current limiting fuse utilizing a fuse link having a plurally of bends which cause the fuse link to come in contact or come in close proximity to the inside wall of the fuse body. When a short circuit and electrical arc occurs, the fuse link material burns toward the fuse wall creating an interaction with the fuse wall and an increase in pressure which extinguishes the arc.
