Abstract

A Class L fuse comprises a pair of conductive elements at the opposite ends of the fuse. A fusible element is secured to and makes electrical contact with each of the conductive elements. A generally cylindrical housing encloses the fusible element. Finally, an insulating, free-flowing arc barrier-forming body or sealant is disposed within the housing. In particular, the arc barrier-forming body or sealant is disposed between a portion of the fusible element and each of the conductive elements.
