A device that will heat up, melt and electrically open the circuit after a period of prolonged abnormal current flow
A component used in an electrical circuit to safely interrupt current flow in the circuit if that flow exceeds the rating of the fuse The fuse is rated at the maximum safe current capacity of the circuit
a protective device containing a short piece of wire that melts and breaks when current through it exceeds a rated value, thus de-energizing the circuit
any igniter that is used to initiate the burning of a propellant electrical device that can interrupt the flow of electrical current when it is overloaded make liquid or plastic by heating; "The storm fused the electric mains"
If you blow a fuse, you suddenly become very angry and are unable to stay calm. For all my experience, I blew a fuse in the quarter-final and could have been sent off
A fuse is a safety device in an electric plug or circuit. It contains a piece of wire which melts when there is a fault so that the flow of electricity stops. The fuse blew as he pressed the button to start the motor Remove the circuit fuse before beginning electrical work
an electrical device which is designed to break a circuit and halt current flow when the current in the circuit exceeds the maximum considered to be safe for the conductors of devices in the circuit
A fuse is a device on a bomb or firework which delays the explosion so that people can move a safe distance away. A bomb was deactivated at the last moment, after the fuse had been lit
