Dual AC fuse, a fuse holder and a method for: simultaneous selection of fusing element and line voltage

摘要

The proposed invention provides a single fusing device for both 115VAC and 230VAC line voltages, a panel mounted fuse holder and a method for simultaneously selecting the proper fusing element and line voltage. PPThis invention consists of a dual element AC fuse were the proper fusing element is selected simultaneuously with the required line voltage by a Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) switch as shown in FIG. 3. PPThe invention offers a distinct advantage to all manufacturers of electrical/electronics consumer products, systems and instrumentation both in the U.S. and abroad.
