Basic information about the fuse
A fuse is a safety element for the entire installation. Both its construction and operating principle are simple. The fuse consists of the following elements:
- fuse link
- fuse base
- caliber insert
- carrier
- cover.
Undoubtedly, an integral part is the insert, or the fuse element. The insert is an electrical conductor. As a result of the current flow, it reaches a specific temperature, so the higher the current intensity, the faster the fuse element heats up. Its task is to cut off the energy supply as quickly as possible. The quartz sand that fills the fuse disperses the ignition, but also cools the arc. Arc blowing systems can also be used, and in some cases, the fuses are filled with fluid. If the fuse element melts, the circuit will switch off and the fuse must be replaced to function properly again.
TOP 5 fuses that will work well in your home
It's worth knowing the list of the best fuses for the apartment. Get to know the top 5 popular models.
Industrial fast fuse insert NH00/WT-00 gF 20A/500V ETI
The NH00/WT-00 gF 20A/500V ETI industrial fast fuse link is a blade fuse link with a rated current of 20 A and a rated voltage of 500 V AC. It has a short-circuit breaking capacity of 110 kA. For even greater safety, it is equipped with a double indicator, which means that after the fuse link burns, the indicator rises up and the red color disappears. The user then knows that it is necessary to replace the fuse link. The fuse element is made of copper and attached to the inner part of the blade contact. This fuse link has an interior filled with quartz sand of appropriately selected granulation. The fuse guarantees full-range protection.
Fuse Link LV 50 A AC 500 V NH00 gL/gG IEC Dual Indicator Eaton
Also worth noting is the Eaton LV 50 A AC 500 V NH00 gL/gG IEC double indicator fuse link . Here, you need to know that the combination of both indicators means that both the front indicator and the one located in the top cover will operate simultaneously when the fuse link burns out. This solution also ensures the visibility of the fuse link's operating status, both in bases and fuse switches. The insert provides excellent protection against both short circuits and overloads. It will work well for many different applications. It is very easy to install and reliable in operation.
Fuse insert knife NH00 double indicator non-insulated handle gG 16A 690VAC Hager
If you are looking for a reliable fuse for your home, a good choice may be the NH00 knife fuse insert, double indicator, non-insulated handle gG 16A 690VAC Hager . It is characterized by a really high capacity to interrupt short-circuit currents while limiting overvoltages. It can be installed in both bases and fuse switches. This model has a rated voltage of 690 V, where the rated current is 16 A. The manufacturer has used a combined indicator here, i.e. a double indicator. Thanks to it, you can detect problems with the installation really quickly, which further increases safety. The fuse also has a non-insulated handle for easier installation.
Fuse Link, LV, 10 A, AC 690 V, NH000, aM, IEC, Bussmann Dual Indicator
The LV 10 A AC 690 V NH000 aM IEC double indicator Bussmann fuse link is equipped with a type of knife contacts. This model also has a double indicator, but remember that when selecting the fuse link, it should be checked whether the rated voltage is equal to or greater than the voltage at the place of use. The rated current of the fuse link is a continuous current that transfers loads. The fuse link has a very good ability to break short-circuit currents, and at the same time it limits the overvoltages caused by the fuse element burning to the maximum.
Industrial fast fuse insert NH00/WT-00 gF 25A/500V ETI
And so we have reached the end of our list and here we have the NH00/WT-00 gF 25A/500V ETI industrial fast fuse insert . It is mounted in the fuse base using an insulating holder. It is resistant to mechanical impacts. It is characterized by a high capacity to interrupt short-circuit currents, thanks to which it prevents short circuits and ensures proper operation of the electrical circuit. It works in the full range and transfers continuous current to the level of nominal current.
