An example of a cutout with a fuse of a type used in Canada. Part of a large and varied collection of over 7500 electrical items acquired and documented by Ontario Hydro in the1960s. The collection was thought to be the largest and most comprehensive of its kind in Canada and was donated to the National Museum of Science and Technology in 1992.
Function
An electrical device which interrupts the flow of electrical current through a piece of apparatus or equipment; this one also was used for testing meters.
Technical
Edison produced the first replaceable type fuse plug which screwed into sockets. These early fuses were porcelain which made it difficult to identify a blown fuse. Many different identifiers were tried in the 1920s and 1930s (such as this fuse) before G.E. introduced the type of fuse now used in domestic settings - the Pyrex plugged fuse plug (Ref. 2).
