What does the interrupting capacity of a fuse indicate?

The interruption capacity of a fuse is the ability of a fuse to stop the current flow on a short circuit condition. On high rupture capacity (HRC) fuses the fuse cartridge has silica sand surrounding the fuse link. When the link blows under a high current so much heat is generated that the silica sand actually turns to glass to extinguish the arc. A dual element fuse is used on motor starting circuits. Their construction inside with two current flow paths allow the high current of a motor start for a short interval of time without blowing.


What metal is used in electric fuse?

Fuses have tinned copper wire* in them.The normal current-carrying capacity of a fuse is determined by the thickness of the wire, as is the final rupture current.Because fuses "melt" like solder, some people think they must contain solder wire, but that is not true.Solder has a lower temperature melting point than either lead or tin but it is not used in fuses because it does not have as good a normal current-carrying capacity as tinned copper.* "Tinned copper wire" means the copper wire has been dipped in a bath of molten tin during its manufacture, leaving a thin coating of tin on the surface of the copper. (The tin is used to help protect the copper from corroding in the atmosphere.)
