Fuse
D.E.V.I.C.E. is an encyclopedia of terms used by manufacturers of test and measurement equipment. T&M Atlantic created this service to better explain the functionality of instruments it offers, and to highlight the latest developments in the world of measurement equipment. We are using such tools as animation to bring words and pictures to life and to create not just an understanding but also an appreciation for technology that goes into the design of every instrument.

An electric device that fries when the current through it goes above a certain magnitude, thus creating an open circuit and preventing current from flowing. Fuses protect electric devices and prevent fires, but many fuses are now replaced by circuit breakers.
