Jump stud fuse module

A jump stud assembly comprising:

• a housing;
• electrically conductive first and second studs extending through a floor of the housing and into a compartment defined by the housing;
• a removable cover enclosing the compartment;
• a fuse module comprising:
• a mounting block having a through-hole extending therethrough;
• a fuse plate comprising:
• an upper portion disposed on a top of the mounting block and having a through-hole aligned with the through-hole of the mounting block;
• a lower portion disposed on a bottom of the mounting block and having a through-hole aligned with the through-hole of the mounting block;
• and
• a fusible element disposed adjacent a sidewall of the mounting block and connecting the upper portion of the fuse plate to the lower portion of the fuse plate;
• wherein the fuse module is mounted on a portion of the first stud outside of the compartment, with the first stud extending through the through-holes of the upper portion of the fuse plate, the mounting block, and the lower portion of the fuse plate, and with the upper portion of the fuse plate in electrical communication with the first stud;
• a ring terminal of an electrical conductor disposed on the first stud in electrical contact with the lower portion of the fuse plate;
• an electrically conductive first nut threadedly engaging the first stud between the housing and a first side of the fuse module, the first nut disposed in electrical contact with the upper portion of the fuse plate;
• and
• an electrically conductive second nut threadedly engaging the first stud on a second side of the fuse module opposite the first side, the second nut holding the ring terminal in engagement with the lower portion of the fuse plate.
