22 mins confidence: high power relay
Explanation:
Another possibility, especially when used uin vehicles, is to distinguish between 'fuses' and relays'.
The picture and description on the reference site explain this.

I think relays might still be appropriate, see, for instance, http://www.freepatentsonline.com/5350076.html, describing giant cranes of the type you mention.
"..., in response to a command signal to, e.g., move the beam or bridge from a stopped position at one end of the rails toward another end of the rails, it is conventional to employ a wound rotor electric motor with resistance connected and disconnected out of the motor windings in steps so as to allow the motor to both apply large starting torque to the load and to increase speed without drawing excessive current or risking a danger of "burning out." This has in the past been accomplished by a set of mechanical timers and relays. Thus, when the operator wants to drive the bridge in one direction, the control system responds by coupling voltage through a bank of resistors in series with the motor windings. As time passes and current builds up in the motor windings, relays are activated to shunt out more and more of the series resistance until ultimately the full voltage is applied across the windings of the now up-to-speed rotor.

Asker: it was used in one of those huge cranes (like straddle carriers)
