ABSTRACT:
A self-recovering current limiting fuse protecting a secondary battery having a high rated voltage thanks to its improved breakdown voltage, expanding the application range, shortening the charging time, and realizing maintenance-free. The self-recovering current limiting fuse is made by fluid-dispersing solid conductive particles into a liquid matrix between electrodes. A current limiting operation through evaporation/spreading of the solid conductive particles and a conducting state brought about through collection of the solid conductive particles between the electrodes by dielectrophoretic force of the solid conductive particles are realized repeatedly, and a current limiting operation through evaporation/spreading of the solid conductive particles by overcurrent is realized.
