ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The disclosed full-range fuse provides excellent short-circuit and overload protection using various forms of fuse links, made of copper or copper alloys, or silver, including curtain fuse links, the short-circuit performance being enhanced by solidifying the sand or other granular fill with a binder, notably a silicate or boric acid, the overload interruption being enhanced by boric acid that is distributed throughout the fill. |
