Power fuse tubes are the insulating, arc-quenching housings at the heart of medium- and high-voltage expulsion and current-limiting fuses. Unlike the small plug fuses found in household panels, the tubes we discuss here are engineered composite components that contain the arc, withstand thousands of amps of fault current, and keep […]

Choosing the right fusible link and vulcanized fiber tubing starts with understanding what each part is actually responsible for, then matching the pair to the operating environment and the specifications your application must meet. Most selection errors come from treating the link and the tube as one decision. They are […]

A fusible link is a short piece of insulated low-voltage cable within an automotive wiring harness, designed to protect the harness where a conventional fuse is unsuitable. This article explains what a fusible link is, how it is applied, and how it is sized and coordinated with the other overcurrent […]
