    Nice to know what's inside one of these high amp rated fuse. We use these at my work place for roof mounted air conditioning units(RTUs).

    This video was very informative. I was researching 600 amp fuses involved in a structure fire I am investigating and never encountered these type of fuses. The fuses I encountered did have Bakelite for the body but paper in a panel installed around 1948. Thank you for this.

    I just had one of 2 of my 100 amp blade fuses in my main switch blow. It took me a minute to trace my power issues to that fuse, but you know there's a problem when you turn on an element on your electric stove, and it turns on the power too the lights that stopped working all of a sudden lol I never knew you could open them up, but was curious how they were constructed. Thanks for sharing!

    Great test 👍
    but whats inside : we now the powder is to insulate but what is it made of ?
    metal conductor : we now no its some kind of metal but what kind of metal ?
    Thank you 👍

    good thing I threw out mine than open it like you did. Would have been nice to see where that attaches to.

    That copper is thick enough to produce interesting magnetic effects within neodymium magnet fields....

    • @electronicsNmore
      @electronicsNmore  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The copper alone was worth more than what I paid for the fuse.

    • @trench01
      @trench01 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      well that is vague

  • @manp1039

    i am wondering what the powder is. it would have been interesting to put amps through and see at what amperage it fails at and watch what the element looks like at you pump amps through it to failure.

    The copper's probably worth a buck.

    I know without even watching. It has 400 1 amp fuses in it.

    I've found that most who work at a thrift store have no idea of or interest in what they are looking at. Throw it in that bin and go home.

      I've bought many items for 5 or $10 and sold them on eBay for 200 - 400 bucks.
