About this deal

Consequently, fuses are rated in terms of their voltage capacity as well as the current level at which they will blow. AC fuses are specifically designed for use with alternating current circuits. They are more resistant to electric arcs when the fuse blows than DC fuses and more compatible with standard voltage power supplies. They can usually cope with higher voltages, too. DC Fuses A 115kV high-voltage fuse in a substation near a hydroelectric power plant Older medium-voltage fuse for a 20 kV network As it was said before, fuses are not the only type of overcurrent protection device in use. Switch-like devices called circuit breakers are often (and more commonly) used to open circuits with excessive current, their popularity due to the fact that they don’t destroy themselves in the process of breaking the circuit as fuses do. In any case, though, placement of the overcurrent protection device in a circuit will follow the same general guidelines listed above: namely, to “fuse” the side of the power supply not connected to ground.

against this short circuit. Thus, the fan may be saved. Many times electronic components can receive more voltage than rated for and still Once you have replaced any necessary powerpoint fuses, locate your fuse box, using your torch if necessary. Ensure that the master switch is in the off position. It should be following a trip, but you should always make sure that this is the caseUltra-rapid fuses: typically used in sensitive circuitry and transistors to protect against short circuits, reacting almost instantaneously. These are also known as Very Fast Acting, Super Rapid and High-Speed fuses

The International Electrotechnical Commission publishes standard 60269 for low-voltage power fuses. The standard is in four volumes, which describe general requirements, fuses for industrial and commercial applications, fuses for residential applications, and fuses to protect semiconductor devices. The IEC standard unifies several national standards, thereby improving the interchangeability of fuses in international trade. All fuses of different technologies tested to meet IEC standards will have similar time-current characteristics, which simplifies design and maintenance. I was an electrical engineer in the 1950s, part of my work was concerned with testing and selecting fuses. I recently gave a talk to my local amateur radio club on the subject, and what follows is from the script I wrote for that talk. I think it is relevant to the discussion here. The necessary voltage rating of a fuse link is established by its required operating voltage (taking into consideration the voltage drop of the fuse link).Surface mount devices (SMDs) are electrical components that sit on the surface of printed circuit boards (PCBs). SMD fuses are available in both resettable and non-resettable forms. Sustained overloads are commonly caused by installing excessive equipment such as additional lighting fixtures or too many motors. Sustained overloads are also caused by overloading mechanical equipment and by equipment breakdown such as failed bearings. If not disconnected within established time limits, sustained overloads eventually overheat circuit components causing thermal damage to insulation and other system components. The motor requires a huge amount of current to startup, which is considered normal in any circuit and doesn’t count as a fault . Therefore, a slow-blow fuse is used to avoid the fuse tripping when there is a transient current; however, if the circuit faces an overcurrent, the fuse will act and protect it. Fast-Blow Fuse In either case, the fuse successfully interrupted current to the load, but the lower circuit fails to interrupt potentially dangerous voltage from either side of the load to ground, where a person might be standing. The first circuit design is much safer.

The rated voltage (U N) of a fuse link has to be at least equal or higher than the operating voltage of the device or assembly unit which is to be protected with the fuse link. If the operating voltage is very low, the fuse link's natural resistance (voltage drop) must possibly be taken into consideration.When the overcurrent stays for a time in the circuit, the slow-blow fuse interferes and disconnects the circuit from the power source , so the slow-blow fuse needs time to act. On the contrary, the fast-blow fuse acts immediately when it senses an overcurrent or a short circuit situation, so it doesn’t need time to act.

Further the level of technology, the details of the actually valid implementation provisions, the safety-principle "human beings, animals and material assets must be protected against danger," as well as the qualification of the installed components should be taken into account - self-responsibility of the manufacturer of electrical devices.) Selection Explanations and Recommendations When available fault currents are less than 100,000 amperes and when equipment does not require the more current-limiting characteristics of UL Class RK1 fuses, FLNR and FLSR_ID Series Class RK5 current-limiting fuses provide superior time-delay and cycling characteristics at a lower cost than RK1 fuses. If available fault currents exceed 100,000 amperes, equipment may need the additional current-limitation capabilities of the LLNRK, LLSRK and LLSRK_ID series Class RK1 fuses.The pre-arcing time limits indicate the relation of fusing time to current. (They are presented as an envelope curve for all mentioned rated currents.) UL 248 currently has 19 "parts". UL 248-1 sets the general requirements for fuses, while the latter parts are dedicated to specific fuses sizes (ex: 248-8 for Class J, 248-10 for Class L), or for categories of fuses with unique properties (ex: 248-13 for semiconductor fuses, 248-19 for photovoltaic fuses). The general requirements (248-1) apply except as modified by the supplemental part (240-x). For example, UL 248-19 allows photovoltaic fuses to be rated up to 1500 volts, DC, versus 1000 volts under the general requirements. A surge protection fuse must accommodate three overload regions. For a short circuit it must blow fast in the normal way. It must also blow for steady overload currents just like an F fuse, but it must tolerate continual brief over-currents -- say ten times its rating -- without blowing or deteriorating.
