Abstract

A touch-safe fuse module includes a built-in slidable handle movable between extended and retracted positions relating to a housing of the fuse module. In the extended position, the handle assists with removal of the fuse from a base housing assembly by improving mechanical leverage to apply extraction force to the housing. Fuse modules having high current ratings may be effectively removed by hand without separately provided tools.
