Fast-acting Fuses (British & American standard)
Categories
Passive components offer a wide range for engineers from various industrial sectors. Our clients have known for many years that they can rely on the quality of our products.
We offer a wide range of fuse links in different types: blade, tubular, screw, and plug-in. We also provide accessories such as: fuse operation sensors, micro switches for operation sensors, and fuse bases. For tubular fuses, we also have DIN rail mountable bases.
In the following category, we offer fast fuses in British and American standards.
What are British standard fuses used for?
Fast fuses in British and American standards are designed to protect electrical consumers against short circuits and overloads. They are equipped with fusible elements that melt when an overload or short circuit occurs in the protected circuit. All fuses have a similar construction and consist of: fusible element, filler, casing, and terminals. The fusible element has appropriately shaped constrictions that form its time-current characteristic and is soldered or welded to the fuse terminals.
Applications of British and American standard fuses:
- cable protection;
- protection of electrical consumers;
- transformer protection;
- protection of electric motors;
- capacitor protection;
- protection of semiconductor power devices: diodes, IGBT transistors, thyristors;
- protection of electronic devices: soft starters, inverters, rectifiers;
- protection of medium voltage transformers, voltage transformers, and medium voltage motors.
