A pressure resistant housing for an electric component, which pressure resistant housing is adapted for use in subsea applications. The pressure resistant housing includes a first ceramic body arranged to accommodate the electric component, which first ceramic body is provided with a first opening and a second opening, a first metal lid for closing the first opening, a first annular sealing member arranged to provide a fluid tight seal between the first metal lid and the first opening, a first clamp arranged to clamp the first metal lid to the first ceramic body, a second metal lid for closing the second opening, a second annular sealing member arranged to provide a fluid tight seal between the second metal lid and the second opening, and a second clamp arranged to clamp the second metal lid to the first ceramic body.

A fuse link used in alternate current medium- or high-voltage systems with a current frequency of 50 Hz includes a spring-type striker pin and is designed for the protection of electrical devices against consequences of short circuits and overloads. A porcelain housing with a star-core, external end caps closed by plugs, star-core end caps with a ring-shaped first tap designed to ensure electric contact between the star-core end cap and the external end cap of the fuse link is also included. A spring-type striker pin is positioned along the axis of the star-core. Each of the end caps of the star-core is provided with an additional second tap designed to centre the star-core relative to the axis of the fuse link. The spring-type striker pin is centred along the longitudinal axis of the fuse link.

A subsea-replaceable fuse assembly has at least one fuse and a wet-mateable fuse connector element. The connector element is arranged to connect the fuse assembly to a subsea electrical load requiring protection of the fuse. The fuse connector element has conductor elements that are electrically connected to the fuse. A corresponding method of protecting a subsea electrical load includes connecting a fuse to the load underwater in a wet-mating operation effected between connector elements that are electrically connected, respectively, to the fuse and to the load.
