A 30 amp glass fuse is a protective electrical component designed to safeguard circuits against overloading and short circuits. It consists of a thin wire encased in a glass tube. When the current limit is exceeded, the wire melts, interrupting the circuit. This type of fuse is commonly used in automotive applications and consumer electronics. Its transparent casing allows for easy inspection to determine if the fuse has blown, enabling quick replacement or repair. The glass fuse provides an efficient and reliable method for protecting electrical circuits from damage.
