Abstract: A fuse assembly includes a housing and a wound wire operable as a fusible element. The housing has a cavity for the fusible element. The fusible element is formed by coating a wire with enamel and wrapping the wire around a core to produce enamel-coated wound wire. The enamel-coated wound wire is attached to the housing. The core is etched away until the core is dissolved and the enamel is stripped away.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure of a fuse may include a fuse body having a first portion and a second portion. The first and second portions may be configured to mate together thereby forming an internal cavity. A first inner termination and a second inner termination may be at least partially attachable to the first and second portions of the fuse body at respective first and second ends. A fusible element may be disposed in the cavity of the fuse body and extendable from the first inner termination at the first end of the fuse body to the second inner termination at the second end of the fuse body. The fusible element may be attachable to the first inner termination at a first connection and the second inner termination at a second connection. The first and second connections may be inspectable when the fuse is in an assembled state.

Abstract: A fuse including a tubular fuse body defining an interior cavity, and a fusible element describing a conical helix that tapers from a first end to a second end, the first end having a diameter that is larger than a diameter of the second end, wherein the first end of the fusible element abuts an end face of the fuse body with a portion of the fusible element extending into the interior cavity.
