A holder for receiving fuses is provided. The holder includes a housing and a fuse shuttle. The fuse shuttle is slidably cooperable with the housing in a first portion of the housing and pivotally cooperable with the housing in a second portion of the housing. The fuse shuttle and the housing define a fuse loading position and a fuse operational position.

The present invention relates to a cut-off member intended to be electrically series-connected to an electric circuit comprising a device for protecting an electric installation against lightning, the cut-off member (1) comprising: a first conducting armature (7) electrically connected to a first coupling terminal (3) to the electric circuit and a second conducting armature (9) electrically connected to a second coupling terminal (5) for coupling to the electric circuit; at least one fuse element (11) disposed between the first conducting armature (7) and the second conducting armature (9) and electrically connected to the first conducting armature (7) and to the second conducting armature (9), the at least one fuse element (11) being arranged to melt when it is crossed by a current of a threshold intensity over a threshold period of time; a device for increasing a peak arc voltage (15) between the first conducting armature (7) and the second conducting armature (9) in the case of melting of the at least one fuse element (11).

A fuse cover lock 26 has a return portion that is inserted through a through hole, which is an engagement portion 42, so as to be brought into engagement with a step portion 44. In the return portion that is in engagement with the step portion 44, an end portion on a side facing a fuse cover 4 in an assembling direction of a fuse holder 2 to the fuse cover 4 is positioned near a circumferential edge of an opening of the through hole.

A fuse protector with a plurality of fuses comprises a fuse protector base, a fuse carrier), and fuse elements. The fuse elements are disposed on the fuse carrier, and the fuse carrier is inserted in the fuse protector base. One side of the fuse protector base is provided with at least two wiring assemblies, and the other side of the fuse protector base is provided with at least two wiring assemblies. The fuse protector base is further provided with base contacts corresponding to the wiring assemblies. The fuse carrier is inserted into the fuse protector base. When the fuse carrier is pulled out of the fuse protector base, at least four breaking points are formed at the same time, and the voltage of an arc is distributed to the four contact points. Therefore, the voltage of the arc is effectively reduced, space is saved.
