Brit.

/ˈkʌtaʊt/,

/kʌtˈaʊt/, U.S.

/ˈkədˌaʊt/

Etymology: to cut out at cut v. Phrasal verbs.

a. Electrical Engineering. A contrivance for automatically cutting lamps, motors, or other electrical appliances out of circuit, when the current supplied to them reaches a point at which it is undesirable to work. One of the commonest kinds is a fuse or fusible cutout, a short piece of metal in circuit which melts when the current attains an unsafe magnitude. There are also other kinds, mostly electro-magnetic in their form, which may be made to act with an increase, a decrease, or a change in direction of current. The name was formerly sometimes applied to a short-circuiting switch on a telegraph circuit.
