A dual element electrical fuse includes at least one high overcurrent fusible element and a low overcurrent fusible element connected to one another inside a housing. The low overcurrent fusible element includes a single sided circuit board and a releasable conductive element that more simply provides low overcurrent protection and manufacturing efficiency with improved quality.

The present disclosure relates to a system, for selectively actuating a safety mechanism, to protect against electrical shock, using a transformable material. The system includes the transformable material, being: (1) connectable electrically to an electrical component having an unwanted electrical charge and (2) changeable between a deformed shape and an undeformed shape based on electrical input resulting from the electrical charge at the electrical component. The transformable material is also (3) connected mechanically to the safety mechanism so that change in the transformable material causes movement of the safety mechanism. The transformable material is further (4) configured and arranged in the system to, in response to being exposed to the electrical input, change to its undeformed shape and thereby actuate the safety mechanism.
