ABSTRACT:
A fuse holder retains and removably connects a fuse to fuse clips within an electrical device. The fuse holder includes a fuse drawer having an open top to hold the fuse. Openings in the fuse drawer are adapted to receive the fuse clips. A guide within the electrical device facilitates sliding the fuse drawer between an open position outside of the electrical device and a closed position within the device. In the closed position, the fuse clips extend through the openings in the fuse drawer and engage the fuse within the fuse drawer to close the electrical circuit within the electrical device. An individual is unable to contact the fuse when the fuse drawer is closed within the electrical device. Similarly, the fuse is disengaged from the fuse clips and the electrical circuit is broken when the fuse drawer is opened so that it is not possible for an individual to contact the fuse while the fuse is connected to the electrical circuit.
