An example of a fuse cutout. In the period 1880 to 1889 Edison invented a device to protect wiring from over-heating. In 1880 he patented the use of a fuse. The early fuse block was first made of wood with brass fittings. Lamps were individually fused until the early 1900s. From 1890 to 1899, plug cutouts began to be made of porcelain, as were fuse-plugs (Ref. 3).
