ABSTRACT:
A safety fuse cartridge having only a single through-bore necessary in a porcelain body that forms an inner chamber in which a fuse wire, which is embedded in a bed of sand in the chamber, extends between a lower contact base and an upper contact head. The cartridge is provided with an indicator which includes a glow lamp that is connected in parallel to the fuse wire via a high-valued resistor which is also embedded in the same bed of sand. The high-valued resistor can be surrounded by a sleeve or tube of insulating material, especially a tube of silicon or steatite. The resistance value of the resistor is preferably 500 to 1000 megaohms.
