A device and method of use of a multiple discharge panel for a multiple-discharge, high energy electric device. The device generally uses a panel for a multiple-discharge, high energy electric device that includes a plurality of fuse assemblies constructed in a cascading arrangement in a common panel. Each fuse assembly provides protection from a single high energy discharge pulse and includes a structure defining a cavity. The fuse assembly further contains a resistor made of components that explode when subjected to a large pulse of power to temporarily interrupt and dissipate the large pulse of power. The structure defining the cavity is shaped to deform in response to explosion of the resistor such that a new connection to a remaining one of the plurality of fuse assemblies is established.
