Abstract

A fuse assembly comprising a silver wire, a tube formed from a material which produces a deionizing atmosphere at the temperature of an arc and a eutectic member soldered to the wire intermediate the ends thereof. The fuse assembly being capable of being connected in series with high time-current clearing fuse members to provide a multiple range of fuse clearing characteristics.
