An electrical fuse apparatus comprises a conductor element defining an electrically conductive path between respective wire terminals for connecting the fuse apparatus to an electrical circuit. The conductor element includes a first reactive material and at least one ignition point for receiving external energy to initiate an exothermic reaction of the first reactive material with a second reactive material. The reaction generates a quantity of heat sufficient to melt the conductor and break the conductive path. The fuse can be an element in electrical circuits, including power controllers. A method for protecting a system using an exothermic fuse apparatus is also disclosed.
