Commonly used terms in the Electrical industry.

a protective device that consists of a fusible element and an arc quenching medium. An overload or fault current in the fuse melts the fusible element, which creates an arc. The quenching medium then interrupts the current at a current zero, and prevents the arc from restriking.
