Abstract (en)
A subsea electrical fuse (10) is provided. The fuse (10) is adapted to be operated in a pressurized environment. The fuse (10) is provided by a section of conductor trace (11) on a printed circuit board (12). The conductor trace section (11) comprises a first connection section (13) and a second connection section (14) for electrically contacting the fuse (10). Furthermore, at least one fuse element (15) provides an electrical connection between the first connection section (13) and the second connection section (14) of the fuse (10). The fuse element (15) is adapted to melt if an electric current through the fuse element (15) exceeds a threshold current, thereby interrupting the electrical connection that the fuse element (15) provides between the first (13) and second (14) connection sections.
