I'm trying to find the best way to remotely set off a fuse. I've considered nichrome wire, but I've also been taking a second look at using induction heating. is this possible? thanks
Induction heating is pretty complicated. You need driver circuits and the right frequencies, etc. Either use nichrome wire, or wire from an old toaster. You could even use a small neon sign transformer. If you put the fuse in the gap between the leads, when the transformer is energized an arc will jump the gap igniting the fuse. Nichrome is probably the simplest.I'm trying to find the best way to remotely set off a fuse.

Inside lamp cord is many strands of very fine wire, maybe #40, and this melts at small currents, maybe 5A or less.I'm trying to find the best way to remotely set off a fuse. I've considered nichrome wire, but I've also been taking a second look at using induction heating. is this possible? thanks
