Answer:
In the utility industry, there are fuses filled with sand called "current limiting fuses". When there is a fault, the current through the fuse will heat up the surrounding sand and melt it into glass, turning it into an insulator. It is a very fast acting fuse.

A cartridge fuse is a rod-like structure that gets exhausted during the process. It is used for the process of joining two metals. the metals form a link between them with the help of a cartridge fuse.
This process involves a lot of heating action. To absorb and control this excessive heat, we use chemically treated sand.
