ABSTRACT:
A fuse assembly including a housing and a fuse element which fuses open for protection against overcurrent or short-circuit current flows. The fuse assembly also includes reflecting means such as metal polished surfaces for reflecting radiation rays generated from the fuse element back to the fuse element. The reflecting means may be formed from separate parts interposed between the fuse element and the inner wall of the housing. Alternatively, the reflecting means may be formed by applying a metal plating on a surface of an inner wall of the housing to give a mirror-like appearance to the surface.
