Abstract (en)

[origin: US4617544A] An HRC-fuse as an insulating body surrounding a main fusible conductor and an auxiliary fusible conductor connected to a spring biased impact pin. A conductive cap serving as a terminal for the fusible conductors is arranged on the insulating body and is provided with an outlet opening opposite the impact pin. A tripping hollow pin or sleeve coaxially surrounds at least a part of the impact pin and passes through the outlet opening. A bimetal release pawl is arranged in the one cap parallel to the pin and being electrically connected to the fusible conductors. The pawl engages a rest on the tripping sleeve to counteract a biasing spring. The impact pin and the tripping sleeve are triggered independently one from the other either by a short-circuit current melting the auxiliary conductor, or by an overload which heats up the bimetal release and triggers the sleeve. Both the tripping sleeve and the impact pin act on a load interruptor arranged opposite the outlet opening.
