A BRIEF INSIGHT INTO THE WORLD OF DEVICE FUSES ...

For more than 100 years  technicians and engineers have put their efforts into working out a
solution to improve the safety of the devices and electrical circuits invented and developed by
them on the basis of fuses. Most often the driving force behind those endeavors were accidents
involving significant material damages or even the loss of lives. The distribution of
electrical devices in private households as well (especially radio sets) back in the 20ies and
30ies of the last century ignited the spark for a chaos with respect to the diversity of
variants. It was not until the introduction of a regulation system in the 30ies 40ies (e.g. DIN
and VDE) that the protection device Fuse was standardized. Back in 1950  the development of
improved fuses  which were optimized to the demands of the electrical industry was rather a
reaction to the trends in the electronic technology. The development and standardization of
fuses can primarily be ascribed to the efforts of the technicians and engineers of the company
Wickmann  which was founded in 1918  The evaluation of the Wickmann archives provides the basis
for this paper. The company Wickmann based in Witten closed its doors in 2007. The book at hand
contains abstracts of its history and recent research findings and developments in the field of
safety engineering  which are aimed to keep pace with the anticipated trends in electronics.
