Abstract
A device and a system for preventing insertion of a fuse into a fuse holder, and methods for using the same. The device and the system comprise retaining elements that are adapted to engage with a fuse holder. When the device or system is engaged in a fuse holder, it is not possible to insert a fuse into the fuse holder. This allows for safe isolation of electric circuits.
Claims21
A fuse insertion prevention device for preventing insertion of a fuse into a fuse holder, the device comprising:
- a plurality of retaining elements configured to engage with a fuse holder, and
- a resilient member situated between the plurality retaining elements,
- wherein:
- the retaining elements are moveable relative to each other between an engaged and a released position, such that:
- in the engaged position the resilient member exerts pressure on the plurality of retaining elements thereby urging them apart, and
- in the released position the retaining elements are moved towards each other and the resilient member is compressed.
(canceled)
A fuse insertion prevention system for preventing insertion of a fuse into a fuse holder, the system comprising:
- one or more retaining elements configured to engage with a fuse holder;
- and
- a cover element configured to receive and immobilize the one or more retaining elements and prevents the one or more retaining elements from disengaging from the fuse holder, wherein the cover element prevents insertion of a fuse into the fuse holder.
