- Overcurrent protective devices that interrupts the current flow by having its metal
wire or strip melted whenever too much current flows through it.
 Glass Fuse  Cartridge Fuse  Screw type Fuse  Knife Blade Fuse
- Circuit Breakers
- These are switch that automatically interrupts the flow of current of an overload
circuit
 Plug-in CB  DIN rail mount CB  Bolt mounted CB

8. Wires & Cables
