A high-voltage direct-current thermal fuse includes one or more fusible components each having two fusible alloy support arms, a fluxing agent, a fusing cavity, two pins, and an insulation block. Two fusible alloy support arms are arranged opposite, and the fusible component is U-shaped. The fusible component and the fluxing agent are sealed within the fusing cavity. The two pins are respectively connected to the two fusible alloy support arms. The insulation block is arranged between the two fusible alloy support arms and separates the two pins. A volume ratio of the fluxing agent to the fusing cavity is approximately 50% or less, preferably, 10%-50%. The number of the one or more fusible components is at least two, and the at least two fusible components are arranged separately. The thermal fuse can avoid the burst and quickly cut off the current, which provides effective thermal protection for a circuit.

A power fuse for protecting an electrical load subject to transient load current cycling events in a direct current electrical power system is provided. The power fuse includes at least one fuse element assembly that includes an elongated planar substrate, a plurality of fusible weak spots, and a conductor. The weak spots are formed on the substrate and are longitudinally spaced from one another on the substrate. The conductor is separately provided from the substrate and the weak spots. The conductor includes a solid elongated strip of metal having no stamped weak spot openings therein and therefore avoiding thermal-mechanical fatigue strain in the conductor when subjected to the transient load current cycling events. The solid elongated strip of metal includes coplanar connector sections that are mounted to respective ones of the weak spots and obliquely extending sections bent out of plane of the connector sections to extend above the substrate.
