Abstract
A fuse arrangement includes a first safety fuse and a second safety fuse connected electrically in parallel with each other. The fuse arrangement also includes an end plate mechanically coupled to the first and second safety fuses to form a structural unit so that both safety fuses must be inserted/removed to/from an electrical power distribution installation at the same time. Furthermore, the electrical parallel connection of the two safety fuses, rather than a single relatively larger safety fuse, may allow the maximum current strength of an electrical power distribution installation to be maintained while the current is split between the two safety fuses so the size of the fuse arrangement may be reduced.
