Subsea fuse

A subsea fuse for use in a high pressure environment, comprising

• a fuse element;
• a first lid and a second lid, each including a conductive material;
• electrical connections for contacting the fuse element;
• and
• a hollow elongated element made of a flexible material and including a first opening and a second opening for said first and second lids, respectively, at opposing ends thereof, the first opening in the hollow elongated element being sealed in a liquid-tight manner by the first lid and the second opening in the hollow elongated element being sealed in a liquid-tight manner by the second lid, such that the first and second lids and the hollow elongated element form a liquid-tight chamber,
• wherein the liquid-tight chamber is filled with a liquid and the fuse element is arranged inside the liquid-tight chamber,
• wherein the hollow elongated element is adapted to provide pressure compensation between a pressure inside the liquid-tight chamber and the high pressure environment surrounding the subsea fuse when installed subsea, and
• wherein the electrical connections for contacting the fuse element are provided via the first and second lids, one terminal of the fuse element being electrically connected to the first lid and the other terminal of the fuse element being electrically connected to the second lid.
