Abstract
A d-c fuse having a clearing ability ranging from currents close to the minimum fusing current to major fault currents is provided with a wide ribbon fuse link having a matrix-like system of perforations. The fuse link is wrapped around gas-evolving rod means in such a fashion as to form a gap between the longitudinal edges thereof resulting in the formation of currents of arc-quenching gas evolving from said rod means and flowing transversely across said edges of said ribbon fuse link.
