Joseph McCarthy was a United States Congressman renown for his tendency to hunt "reds," or Communists during the Cold War. His nickname, "low blow," came because of his over eagerness to accuse citizens as "Reds" and then proceed to ruin their careers.

Does a low break capacity fuse mean fast or slow blow?

A low break capacity fuse typically refers to its ability to interrupt a circuit at lower fault currents, but it does not directly indicate whether it is fast or slow blow. Fast-blow fuses are designed to react quickly to overcurrents, while slow-blow fuses can tolerate temporary surges without blowing. The break capacity and the blow speed are separate characteristics, so a low break capacity fuse can be either fast or slow blow depending on its design.
