Abstract
In accordance with a non-limiting example, an electrical protection device includes a fuse housing and a plurality of fuses carried by the fuse housing and arranged in a plurality of Tip/Ring fuse pairs. The Tip/Ring fuse pairs are arranged in vertical and horizontal orientation of Tip/Ring fuse pairs and spaced to each other such that differential crosstalk among the Tip/Ring fuse pairs is cancelled.
Claims25
An electrical protection device, comprising:
- a fuse housing;
- and
- a plurality of fuses carried by the fuse housing and arranged in a plurality of Tip/Ring fuse pairs, wherein the Tip/Ring fuse pairs are arranged in vertical and horizontal orientation of Tip/Ring fuse pairs and spaced to each other such that differential crosstalk among the Tip/Ring fuse pairs is cancelled.
An electrical protection device, comprising:
- a fuse housing;
- and
- a plurality of fuses carried by the fuse housing and arranged in a plurality of Tip/Ring fuse pairs, wherein the Tip/Ring fuse pairs are positioned linearly with each other within the fuse housing and arranged in alternating vertical and horizontal orientation of Tip/Ring fuse pairs, wherein an adjacent two Tip/Ring fuse pairs that are adjacent are spaced such that the distance from a centerline of a vertically oriented Tip fuse on a first Tip/Ring fuse pair to a centerline of a horizontally oriented Tip fuse on a second adjacent Tip/Ring fuse pair and the distance between a centerline of the Ring fuse on the first Tip/Ring fuse pair and a centerline of the Tip fuse on the second Tip/Ring fuse pair are substantially the same distance d1 and the distance from a centerline of the vertically oriented Tip fuse on the first Tip/Ring fuse pair to a centerline of the horizontally oriented Ring fuse on the second Tip/Ring fuse pair and the distance between a centerline of the Ring fuse on the first Tip/Ring fuse pair and a centerline of the Ring fuse on the second Tip/Ring fuse pair are substantially the same distance d2 wherein the distances d1 and d2 are such that differential crosstalk among Tip/Ring fuse pairs is cancelled.
An electrical protection system, comprising:
- a plurality of fuse housing bodies positioned linearly and adjacent to each other;
- and
- a pair of fuses positioned in each fuse housing body and arranged as a Tip/Ring fuse pair in one of a vertical or horizontal configuration, wherein each of the fuse housing bodies are arranged adjacent to each other such that the Tip/Ring fuse pairs are arranged in alternating vertical and horizontal orientation and spaced to each other a distance such that differential crosstalk among the Tip/Ring fuse pairs is cancelled.
