Aspects of the disclosure relate to a mechanical fuse having a first component having an opening in a lower wall and a ledge arranged around the opening and a second component having a top surface with a threaded opening arranged therein. The top surface of the second component may be oriented towards the first component such that the top surface is arranged entirely below the lower wall in order to enable the first component and the second component to pivot relative to one another at the bolt. The mechanical fuse may also include a bolt having a neck including a reduced cross-sectional area portion, and the bolt is configured to break and separate the first component from the second component when a predetermined amount of force is transmitted from the first component to the reduced cross-sectional area portion via the pivoting.
