FUSE WIRE: 5amp, 10amp
(Wikipedia excerpt: ..."...In electronics and electrical engineering, a fuse [F] is an electrical safety device that operates to provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit. Its essential component is a metal wire or strip that melts when too much current flows through it, thereby stopping or interrupting the current. It is a sacrificial device; once a [F] has operated, it is an open circuit, and must be replaced or rewired, depending on its type.
[F] have been used as essential safety devices from the early days of electrical engineering. Today there are thousands of different [F] designs which have specific current and voltage ratings, breaking capacity, and response times, depending on the application. The time and current operating characteristics of [F] are chosen to provide adequate protection without needless interruption. Wiring regulations usually define a maximum [F] current rating for particular circuits....)
