Title :
Effects of Surrounding Medium on Electrically Exploded Aluminum Foil Fuses
Abstract :
Flat aluminum foil fuses were exploded electrically by discharging a capacitor bank into a series combination inductance (~600 nH) and fuse. The 2.54 X 2.54 X 0.0023-cm foils were exploded in a sealed chamber. The time-to-burst (TTB) and fuse voltage characteristics were investigated as a function of the fuse environment. Results are given for foils exploded in various gases and liquids.
