20090045906 | MODERATELY HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENT FUSE - A fuse for a moderately hazardous environment comprising includes: (i) a fuse element; (ii) first and second terminals connected to the fuse element; and (iii) a metal enclosure placed around the fuse element, the enclosure configured to protect the environment from an opening of the fuse element, and wherein the first and second terminals extend from the metal enclosure. | 02-19-2009 |
20100019913 | CIRCUIT PROTECTION SYSTEM HAVING FAILURE MODE INDICATION - A circuit protection system includes: a fuse holder configured to hold at least one fuse; electronics programmed to: (i) monitor current across the fuse and (ii) determine a short circuit failure mode or a current overload failure mode when the fuse opens; and an indicator in communication with the electronics, the indicator configured to indicate whether the fuse opened due to the short circuit failure mode or the current overload failure mode. | 01-28-2010 |
20100023284 | INTELLIGENT FUSE HOLDER AND CIRCUIT PROTECTION SYSTEMS - A circuit protection device includes: (i) a housing configured to hold a fuse; (ii) a first contact configured to connect the fuse to a power source; (iii) a second contact configured to connect the fuse to a load; and (iv) a sensing circuit placed in parallel with the fuse, the sensing circuit configured to operate on a leakage current running through the circuit after the fuse opens. | 01-28-2010 |
20100023286 | INTELLIGENT FUSE HOLDER AND CIRCUIT PROTECTION METHODS - A circuit protection method includes: (i) sensing current and voltage across a fuse protecting a load; (ii) sending at least one signal indicative of the current and voltage; and (iii) using the at least one signal to determine if the load is operating normally. | 01-28-2010 |
20100102920 | MODERATELY HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENT FUSE - A fuse for a moderately hazardous environment comprising includes: (i) a fuse element; (ii) first and second terminals connected to the fuse element; and (iii) a metal enclosure places around the fuse element, the enclosure configured to protect the environment from an opening of the fuse element, and wherein the first and second terminals extend from the metal enclosure. | 04-29-2010 |
20140247057 | INTELLIGENT FUSE HOLDER AND CIRCUIT PROTECTION METHODS - An intelligent circuit protection system and method for automating component replacement and providing information to a user or operator about a load for circuit protection. The circuit protection method includes sensing current and voltage across a fuse protecting a load; sending at least one signal indicative of the current and voltage; and using the at least one signal to determine if the load is operating normally. | 09-04-2014 |
