English term

microfuse

English Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng
"Always unplug the device from the electrical outlet before replacing the microfuse and before cleaning the device."

Can you help me by giving definition for the term microfuse and its alternative names in the above sentense?

I wonder if it is a small fuse. I try to find what it is called in my language but need to know its function, definition or alternative name?

small fuse

Yes, it's a small fuse. It's not more complicated than that. It has exactly the same function as any other fuse.

Thank you. Guess I was right, then I just call it a fuse and no need to call it small fuse.

Relatively smaller fuse

Basically electrical fuses which we use for protection of devices vary in size
they have different size groups i.e Micro , Mini , Maxi , regular etc fuse . The functionality of all these fuses is same they only vary in Dimensions and current ratings. Micro fuses can only be used in devices having low current rating means which use less electric power .
