bezpiecznik topikowy
Bezpiecznik topikowy, wkładka topikowa – rodzaj zabezpieczenia elektrycznego, w którym przez stopienie się jednego z jego elementów następuje przerwanie ciągłości obwodu elektrycznego.
[...]
Aby łuk zgasł, a tym samym nastąpiło przerwanie obwodu natężenie prądu musi spaść poniżej wartości progowej. Aby przyspieszyć proces gaszenia łuku, topik zasypany jest piaskiem kwarcowym, piasek rozprasza i chłodzi łuk.

Car Fuses and Fusible Links Explained
In automotive applications, a fusible link is a length of wire that is several gauges thinner than the wire that it is designed to protect. When all goes well, this results in the fusible link failing and breaking the circuit before the protected wiring can fail.
Fusible links are also encased in special materials that are designed not to catch on fire when exposed to high temperatures. So, although extremely high current in a regular wire could cause a fire, a blown fusible link is less likely to do so.
You'll find fusible links in various places in cars and trucks, but they are commonly used in high-amperage applications such as starter motors, which can draw hundreds of amps. When this type of fusible link blows, the vehicle no longer starts, but the risks of fire are less. In other applications, the fusible link is easier to get at and replace than the wiring it is designed to protect.

What is a Fusible Link?
A Fusible link is a short, low-voltage wire that acts as a fuse in a vehicle's wiring harness. Fusible links provide circuit protection in the wiring of a vehicle in the case of a short circuit or voltage spike. These insulated wires may be used in applications in which an automotive fuse is unsuitable.
Fusible Link Construction
Fusible links are short pieces of wire. Our Fusible Links feature stranded bare copper conductors and Hypalon rubber insulation. We carry fusible links in gauge sizes 22 AWG to 8 AWG. We also offer multiple colors for the insulation, including Orange/Rust, Grey, Blue, Black, or Red.
Fusible Link Specifications
Since fusible links are classified as low voltage wiring, they should not be used in applications that exceed 50V. Allied Wire and Cable's fusible links have a maximum temperature of 150°C for continuous use. Our fusible likes also meet the SAE J-1128 Type HTS specification.

: 1970 on Mustangs, https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1508501-fusible-links.htm... coils were 6 volt 1966, with ceramic reducer, then confused us all with special fusible link to reduce voltage (am getting older)

Discussion
A fusible link is a short piece (3-5″ long) of insulated low-voltage wire, attached to your vehicle or tractor wiring harness. The piece of Fusible Link should be 4 sizes smaller (or 2 AWG sizes smaller) than powerfeed wire. It is designed to protect the wire harness in applications in an current overload situation. The conductor within the link melts, while the flame and spark only affect that short piece of fusible link and not your entire wiring harness.
