Had a quick Google and found the gloso website, what you have is a circuit breaker not a fuse.

As others have said resetable, hence the button on top and protected by the molding. Yes a circuit breaker NOT a fuse ! Noel.

… Yes, one of those others was me 🙂 🙂

The bit that had mostly aroused my curiosity was wondering exactly what the potentially ambiguous words  IGNITION PROTECTED actually meant … but thanks to BlueSea I think I understand that too.
