The largest size fuse shown in the chart is the 5ag.

Ceramic fuse types. The types of fuses include long time lag or super time lag tt fast acting fuses ff quick blow fuses f and slow blow or time lag fuses t. Lucas glass tube fuses have straight ends. Usually the body of the fuse is made up of porcelain or ceramic and the fuse element chamber is filled with silica sand. Striker types of fuses.

These are the sort where you run fuse wire around some screws usually in the dark while holding a torch. The physical length of the lucas ceramic type of fuse is either 1 inch or 1 25 inch with conical ends. They re used with glass fuses for protecting low current circuits or ceramic fuses for protecting high current circuits. These types of fuse are used on equipment such as motors which can draw larger than normal currents for up to several seconds while coming up to.

This type of fuse can be simply changeable in the electric circuit exclusive of any load. Lucas type fuses are used in old british made or assembled automobiles. Blade type fuses are also known as plug in type fuses. Ceramic fuses serf semi enclosed re wireable fuses are old school forms of electrical protection for a home.

A 60 volt dc fuse designed for the telecom industry. A glass body cartridge style fuse that is 1 4 in diameter and 5 8 in length. Glass and ceramic fuse blocks accept 1 4 x 1 1 4 glass or ceramic fuses for overcurrent protection in electronics equipment appliances and lighting circuits. The knife type fuse or plug in type of fuses is designed with plastic.

In bolted type fuse plates of this fuse are conducting are set to the base of the fuse. Lucas type fuses usually use the same color coding for the rated current. A time delay fuse also known as an anti surge or slow blow fuse is designed to allow a current which is above the rated value of the fuse to flow for a short period of time without the fuse blowing.

The renewable type fuses and automotive fuses appeared in 1914 and in 1927 littelfuse started making very low amperage fuses for the budding electronics industry. A thin metal strip inside the fuse conducts all electrical flow through the circuit and if the current flow exceeds the current carrying capacity of the metal strip it overheats and melts thereby interrupting the flow of current and shutting off the circuit.

The types of circuit protection for your home.
