Abstract

The fusible element of an electrical fuse is made from carbon glass. The carbon glass melts and pulls apart safely when the fuse blows, so the fusible element normally does not need an enclosure. The carbon glass glows and emits light when current flowing therethrough approaches the fuse's current-carrying capacity, thereby acting as a current sensor and a warning indicator that the fuse is about to blow.
