A fuse cartridge has a hollow casing of insulated material having an internal chamber filled with quartz sand and being of a parallelepiped form having two transverse walls and two pairs of longitudinal walls. One of the transverse walls is integral with the housing, and the other transverse wall is removable therefrom and has holes, through which electrically conducting pins extend into the chamber. A partition wall is located in the chamber parallel to a plane of symmetry of a first pair of the longitudinal walls. At least one substantially flat fuse strip is located in the chamber and has two opposite ends, each electrically connected to a respective pin. The fuse strip is U-shaped and has two portions parallel to the second pair of the longitudinal walls and a third portion connecting the two portions of the fuse strip to one another and parallel to the transverse walls.
