Abstract
An inline fuse holder can be electrically connected to a single input line and first and second output lines. The inline fuse holder can hold two different fuses, each of which can be electrically connected to the single input line. However, a first of the two different fuses can be electrically connected to the first output line, and a second of the two different fuses can be electrically connected to the second output line. The inline fuse holder can split input current carried on the single input line between the two different fuses, which can function simultaneously while conducting separate output current on the first and second output lines.
Claims20
An inline fuse holder comprising:
- an input adapter for electrically connecting with a single input line, a first fuse, and a second fuse;
- a first output adapter for electrically connecting with the first fuse and a first output line;
- and
- a second output adapter for electrically connecting with the second fuse and a second output line.
An inline fuse holder comprising:
- a first input adapter for electrically connecting with a first single input line, a first fuse, and a second fuse;
- a first output adapter for electrically connecting with the first fuse and a first output line;
- a second output adapter for electrically connecting with the second fuse and a second output line;
- a second input adapter for electrically connecting with a second single input line, a third fuse, and a fourth fuse;
- a third output adapter for electrically connecting with the third fuse and a third output line;
- and
- a fourth output adapter for electrically connecting with the fourth fuse and a fourth output line.
A method comprising:
- receiving input current from a single input line;
- splitting the input current into first fuse current and second fuse current;
- conducting the first fuse current from the single input line to a first input terminal electrically connected to the single input line, from the first input terminal to a first fuse electrically connected to the first input terminal, from the first fuse to a first output terminal electrically connected to the first fuse when the first fuse is closed, and from the first output terminal to a first output line electrically connected to to the first output terminal;
- and
- conducting the second fuse current from the single input line to a second input terminal electrically connected to the single input line, from the second input terminal to a second fuse electrically connected to the second input terminal, from the second fuse to a second output terminal electrically connected to the second fuse when the second fuse is closed, and from the second output terminal to a second output line electrically connected to to the second output terminal.
