Abstract
A fuse () is proposed for interrupting a voltage and/or current-carrying conductor () in case of a thermal fault, having a conductor bar () ensuring an electrically conductive connection of the voltage and/or current-carrying conductor during correct operation, said fuse () being characterized in that the conductor bar () melts upon an increase in temperature above the melting point, and the electrically conductive connection of the voltage and/or current-carrying conductor is interrupted due to inherent surface tension. Also proposed is a method for producing the fuse () according to the invention.
