Abstract:
An electrical apparatus including a protective device with an electrically insulating bushing having an axially extending inner bore and terminal members disposed adjacent to the opposite ends of the bushing. A fusible element or fuse link is disposed in and spaced from the inner bore of the bushing and is electrically connected between the terminal members. A pulverulent or granular arc quenching material substantially fills the space between the fusible element and the inner bore of the bushing which includes at its outer periphery axially intermediate the ends of the bushing a portion which is adapted to receive a supporting means for the bushing on the wall or cover of the enclosure of the associated electrical apparatus.
