DEFINITION

Classification: 337/182

(under subclass 142) Subject matter including significant details of heat concentrating or generating means external of and separate from the fuse element adapted to increase or augment the electrothermal heating effect of the current traversing the fusible element.

(1) Note. For other external or auxiliary heating means used in devices of this class, see the subclasses listed under SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS in subclass 102.
