Electrical fuses are electrical devices, such as fuses, that are designed to protect the electrical system from accidents.
Fuse fuses
Fuse fuses are disposable fuses containing a metal plate that melts or quartz sand to extinguish the electric arc. Their main task is to interrupt the electrical circuit in the event of problems and to protect against damage, accidents and fire.
Types
Depending on the application, shape and size, fuses are mainly divided into:
cylindrical ceramic;
cylindrical glass;
automotive - blade, flat, cartridge
high-power industrial
Cylindrical fuses
Cylindrical fuses are fuses in the form of a tube with a ceramic or glass housing. They are usually used for electrical appliances and devices at 230 VAC or 12/24 VDC and low-current systems up to 100 A.
Automotive fuses
Automotive fuses are plastic fuses with a fuse wire in a blade, strip or cartridge shape. They are usually used in the electrical system of cars and are designed for 12/24/32 VDC and low-current systems up to 200 A.
Industrial fuses
High-voltage industrial fuses are a ceramic body with quartz sand for extinguishing arcs. They are designed for systems with voltages up to 500 VAC and currents up to 630 A.
