NH Type HRC Fuse
Offering defense against short circuits and overloads in low and medium voltage applications, these fuses protect motor starters and various other devices from the dangers of overloading and short-circuiting. Additionally, their compact and lightweight design makes them a practical and robust choice.
Din Type Fuse
DIN-type fuses are available in a wide range of rated currents, catering to various purposes, each designed with specific characteristics suitable for different temperature conditions. These fuses are versatile, accommodating different voltage levels, and are valuable for transformer protection, even in situations where there is no Low-Voltage (LV) secondary or backup protection.
They are particularly proficient in quickly clearing low-level overcurrent’s and demonstrate effective performance in short-circuit situations. DIN fuses find applications in air and gas-insulated switchgear, mining operations, transformers, and feeder sectionalization.
Blade Type Fuse
Known as plug-in or spade fuses, this specific fuse type features a plastic body and two metal caps, crafted for insertion into a socket. Commonly used in automobiles, these fuses provide protection against short circuits in wiring and are also applied in motors to enhance protective measures.
Characterized by their lightweight design and lower cutoff current, blade-type fuses are available in various sizes and shapes, each with distinct current rating capacities.
HRC Fuse
An HRC (High Rupturing Capacity) fuse acts as a vital safety feature for electrical devices, shielding them from harm caused by excessive currents. In an electrical system, current usually flows within a certain limit. But if the current goes beyond this limit, problems like short circuits can happen. Too much current can also cause things to get very hot and damage the connected equipment. To avoid this damage during faults, we use electrical fuses. These fuses are devices with a part that melts and breaks the circuit when the current goes above a certain value. They are the most sensitive part of an electrical circuit. There are different types of fuses available, and this article talks about HRC fuses, explaining how they work, how they are made, and where they are used.
