What material is in a cartridge fuse?
Cartridge fuse is made of ceramic, porcelain, or glass. Although they have left their places to miniature circuit breakers in recent years, they can still be used in electrical applications.
How do you tell if a cartridge fuse is blown?
Use a multimeter to measure the resistance of cartridge fuses. Cartridge fuses look like shot-gun shells; you can test whether a cartridge fuse is blown by touching both ends of a multimeter to each end of the cartridge fuse. Low resistance is good; high resistance indicates the fuse is blown.
How do you tell if a cartridge fuse is blown without a multimeter?
To test a fuse without multimeter, take a flashlight equipped with a flat battery. Unscrew the bulb and get the battery. Place the fuse of one of the battery “blades” and the base of the bulb on the other side of the fuse. Put the bulb pad in contact with the second “blade” of the battery.
