sulavkaitse preferred
fuse preferred
  • a protective device with an element that opens the circuit by melting when subjected to excessive current
  • a device for protecting electrical apparatus against the effect of excess current; it consists of a piece of fusible metal, which is connected in the circuit to be protected, and which melts and interrupts the circuit when an excess current flows. The term fuse also includes the necessary mounting and cover (if any). Cf circuit breaker.
Good to know
  • FR: fusible [T50056] DE: Schmelzsicherung [T50056] FI: sulakke [T50056]
sulavkaitse preferred
Usage examples
  • Sulavkaitsmed... põhinevad mingi kindla (rakendumis-) voolu korral läbipõleva sulari (metalltraadi, -riba vms) kasutamisel. Läbipõlemisel tekkivate pritsmete, metalliauru ja elektrikaare kahjuliku toime vältimiseks paikneb sular kinnises torus (torukaitsmed), padrunis (padrunkaitsmed) vm tugevas isoleerkestas, mis võib olla täidetud kaare arengut tõkestava ainega (nt kvartsliivaga); varem on kasutatud ka lahtisi sulareid. ... Pärast rakendumist tuleb sulavkaitse või selle sular vahetada.

fuse preferred
Usage examples
  • Switchboards should be clearly marked; fuse boxes and fuse holders should be checked at regular intervals to ensure that the correct rating of fuse is being used.
  • All generators and circuits must be protected against excess current in any unearthed pole or conductor. Automatic circuit-breakers with short-circuit and surge trips, or safety fuses of the sealed type, may be used for this purpose. Such electrical protection devices must be so installed as to be adequately protected against jolting.

blasting fuse preferred
  • niiskuskindel püssirohuga täidetud nöör plahvatuste korraldamiseks
  • a train of powder enclosed in cotton, jute yarn, and waterproofing compounds; used for firing a cap containing the detonating compound which in turn sets off the explosive charge. The fuse burns at the rate of 2 feet per minute.
