Abstract
A fuse apparatus for protecting a device and a load coupled to the device may include a switch. The switch may be configured to interrupt current to protect a device and a load coupled to the device. A fuse apparatus may include a current sensor which may be coupled to a controller. The controller may control the switch to interrupt current to protect a device when current exceeds a threshold current. Additionally, a fuse apparatus may include a voltage sensor coupled to the controller. The controller may control the switch to interrupt current to protect a load when an output voltage of the device exceeds a threshold voltage.
