Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a current fuse device. The current fuse device comprises: an insulating box having a cavity; a first conductor fixed to the insulating box with a first outer end and a first inner end; a second conductor fixed to the insulating box with a second outer end and a second inner end; and at least one elastic member disposed on at least one of the first conductor and the second conductor and inside the cavity. The elastic member forms an electrical connection between the first inner end of the first conductor and the second inner end of the second conductor. The elastic member has an elastic potential energy to break the electrical connection when a short circuit occurs.
