文摘This paper presents the ageing mechanism of fuse in nuclear power plant in detail. Metal Electromigration is identified as the dominant ageing mechanism. On this basis, the dominant status indicators, temperature and resistance of fuse were ensured, and current-temperature curve was proposed. The infrared thermal imaging technology was used to inspect the ageing condition and prove the current-temperature curve. Finally, the accelerated ageing testing was conducted abiding by the dominant ageing mechanism, and the lifetime was evaluated.
