An electrical device assembly and method to attach an isolated single stud fuse assembly to an electrical device are disclosed. The electrical device assembly consists of multiple studs, one or more of which is replaced with the isolated single stud fuse. A conductive copper landing zone receives an electrically isolated steel stud. When the landing pad assembly is orbital riveted into a plastic housing of the electrical device, the stud is locked into the housing permanently. Electrical devices such as disconnect switches and power distribution modules, both of which include multiple studs, are good candidates for being adapted with the single stud fuse assembly.

The invention relates to a surge protection device ensemble comprising a surge protection device having an overvoltage protection means in a first housing, wherein the first housing has at least two connections for contacting the overvoltage protection means, characterized in that the surge protection device ensemble also has a fuse module having a fuse in a second housing, wherein the second housing has at least two connections for contacting the fuse, characterized in that the second housing having one of the connections of the fuse module is inserted in a form-fitting manner into one connection of the at least two connections of the surge protection device, wherein the fuse module provides an electrical connection on the inserted side between the fuse module and the surge protection device.

This disclosure describes techniques implemented at least in part by a fuse-monitoring device to detect when a fuse cutout in an electric power system opens to disconnect a device and/or a load from a power line, and provides an indication of a location of the opened fuse cutout to a utility provider. The fuse-monitoring device may be attached to a fuse holder of the fuse cutout, and may include a movement sensor that detects when the fuse holder swings open due to its fuse melting, or blowing. The fuse-monitoring device may send a notification to the utility provider indicating that the fuse holder has swung open. The fuse-monitoring device may include a GPS sensor to determine the location of the fuse cutout, and may also notify the utility provider of the location of the fuse cutout so a line crew can quickly locate the fuse cutout that requires maintenance.

The present invention discloses an anti-electric shock mechanism for a power converter comprising a protective tube provided in the power converter and further comprising a locking guide block provided in the power converter, and a protective holder for mounting the protective tube, wherein a locking groove is formed on the protective holder, and a locking part inserted into the locking groove is provided on the locking guide block. The anti-electric shock mechanism for the power converter provided by the present invention can prevent the risk of electric leakage and electric shock when the power converter is used, whether the protective tube has not been pulled out, is partially pulled out or has been completely pulled out, so as to improve the safety of the power converter.

A fuse box for a battery of a vehicle includes: a lower housing having a space in which a fuse is housed and a bus bar for electrically connecting the battery and the fuse is seated; a plate-shaped upper housing having a through hole formed at a central portion thereof and a first extending portion extending upward along a circumference of the through hole, where the upper housing is assembled on an upper side of the lower housing; and a fuse cover that is coupled to an upper side of the upper housing to cover the fuse exposed through the through hole of the upper housing.

A wiring module to be attached to a plurality of power elements which store or generate power includes a bus bar connecting the power elements to each other or connecting the power element and a load to each other, an abnormality detection element detecting an abnormality of the power element, and an insulating protector holding the bus bar and the abnormality detection element. The insulating protector is integrally provided with a first holding shaft portion and a second holding shaft portion which position and hold the bus bar by fitting the bus bar there onto, and an element holding portion which position and hold the abnormality detection element by fitting the abnormality detection element there into.

A circuit breaker system is provided; the circuit breaker system comprises of a transformer, a capacitor, a pulse generator, a EBWF fuse and a VCB, the circuit breaker system can interrupt rated load current, overload current, surge load current and short-circuit load current within 100 microseconds. The on-state voltage drop of the circuit breaker system is below 0.1V. The circuit breaker system interrupts load current by injecting a non-resonant pulse current to reduce the current between the contacts of the VCB, and circuit breaker system interrupts higher load current by detonating the EBWF fuse to force an open-circuit. The EBWF fuse comprises a detonator in the low terminal and a contacting bellows in the upper terminal. The EBWF fuse can be engaged and dis-engaged by a fuse holder system.

An electronic device includes an input, an output, a metal fuse, a resistor, a heat control transistor, and a heat controller. The metal fuse is coupled between the input and the output. The resistor is coupled between the metal fuse and the heat control transistor. The heat control transistor is coupled between the resistor and a reference terminal of the electronic device, and the heat controller is configured to control a heater current of the heat control transistor.

A circuit protection device including a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) device and a backup fuse electrically connected in series with one another, the backup fuse comprising a quantity of solder disposed on a dielectric chip and having a melting temperature that is higher than a trip temperature of the PTC device, wherein the a surface of the dielectric chip exhibits a de-wetting characteristic relative to the solder such that, when the solder is melted, the solder draws away from the surface to create a galvanic opening in the backup fuse.

A circuit breaker device includes a bimetallic overcurrent protection element which is configured to be placed in series with an integrated replaceable fuse. The replaceable fuse may be faster-acting than the bimetallic overcurrent protection element, and may be higher-rated than the bimetallic overcurrent protection element. The circuit breaker device may include an electrically isolated terminal stud having a height sufficient to retain the replaceable fuse thereon, the electrically isolated terminal stud not directly connected to the bimetallic overcurrent protection element, so that current can only flow through the bimetallic overcurrent protection element when a replaceable fuse comprising an intact fuse element is supported on the electrically isolated terminal stud.
