ABSTRACT:
A re-settable fuse is provided with a movable cartridge containing a plurality of fuse elements. When a fuse is blown, a replacement fuse element may be installed into a circuit by moving, rotating or otherwise altering the position of the cartridge such that a new fuse element is inserted between electrical contacts mounted within the interior of the housing of the fuse. The bottom of the housing is configured to conform to a standardized shape of a fuse so that it may be installed into ordinary fuse box. Within the housing is a conductor which connects the fuse and the fuse element with the circuit wired into the fuse box. This conductor is exposed at the bottom of the fuse for connecting with the circuit.
