Estimating the term…
A fuse element and a method for manufacturing the same, are provided whereby the fuse element consists of an active response part which is advantageously formed by at least two parallel metal sub-strips of an elongated fuse metal foil including leading and trailing parts for electrical connection of each fuse element. The elongated fuse metal foil can be reinforced by an elongated dielectric base layer made of polymer material. Accordingly, performance of such a fuse element can be increased and manufacturing costs can be decreased. The fuse element especially can be applied to a plurality of capacitor sub-units being integrated in housings and submerged in a cooling and insulating liquid within the housing.
A fuse element, comprising:
A method for fabricating a fuse element, which comprises the steps of:
A method of using fuse elements each containing a self-supporting elongated fuse metal strip having at least one elongated recess formed therein and defining an active fuse response part formed by at least two parallel metal sub-strips, which comprises the step of:
