What is a jet fuse

Answer:

Sometimes the upper end of the insulating tube made of movable type, in the breaking current immediately after the release and fall, this type of jet fuse commonly known as drop the fuse. Generally applicable to outdoor conditions with voltages above 6 kV.
When the short-circuit current through the melt, the melt then fuse to produce arc, high-temperature arc so that the solid gas material quickly decomposed to produce a large number of high-pressure gas, which will ionize the gas with arc at the ends of the tube, issued a great sound and light
Solid gas production materials can be used electric anti-white cardboard or plexiglass materials.
The jet fuses are filled with a melt in an insulating tube made of a solid gas-generating material
And in the AC current zero off when the arc off the current. The insulating tube is usually mounted on an insulating bracket to form the fuse as a whole.
