Blown fuse element indicator
Blown fuse element indicator
(OP)
Looking for help on an indicator that could be used to detect a blown copper link fuse that is rubber encased. Does anyone know of a compound (plastic, etc.) that would change colors under intense heat? Thanks in advance for any suggestions on a method of design for this.

I have heard of fuses that have a mechanical device that 'shoots out' when they blow. This form of trigger is used in the fuse switch to control an electrical switch (NO or NC). Is this what you are looking for ?

There's a product on the market that electricians and thermographers use to indicate temperature of electrical conductors. It's like an identification label that is applied like tape . . . wrapped around the insulation of the conductor, and it changes color according to the temperature it has subjected to. I wish I could tell where to find it, but I don't know the manufacturer's name, (actually, I'm sure there are several manufacturers of this type of product). I would start looking at electrical wholesale houses.
