ABSTRACT:
There is provided by this invention a current limiting fuse having a fuse element wound about support means consisting of a non-stoichiometric oxide core that produces an electro-negative gas when heated by the melting fuse element. The generation of the electro-negative gas results in more rapid and efficient arc extinction.
