Bottle fuses are a type of fuse with differently sized ends. They are designed to ensure that the wrong fuse is never inserted into the circuit, as their larger end is sized according to the adaptor screw holes.

Fuses are designed to protect a circuit against overcurrent or other faults. When overcurrent occurs, the metal strip in the fuse will melt, causing the circuit to break and preventing further damage.

### How do bottle fuses work?

Bottle fuses are inserted into the circuit in a similar way to normal fuses, by connecting their two ends to the adjacent parts, or by using a [bottle fuse holder](/web/c/fuses-sockets-circuit-breakers/fuse-holders/bottle-fuse-holders/) However, unlike regular fuses, when a bottle fuse blows, the colour indicator located at the head of the fuse pops out, to let the user know that there is a problem with a circuit. The fuse will then need to be changed.

### Types of bottle fuses

Bottle fuses, as the name suggests, feature a bottle shaped body with a larger tip and a smaller one. They vary in exact shape and come in different sizes and voltage ranges depending on the specific application.

Siemens Bottle Fuses, which are also known as D Fuses, are fuses with different sized ends to ensure the wrong fuse is not used or connected to an electrical circuit, completing the industrial electrical circuit. How do Bottle Fuses work? Siemens Bottle Fuses are connected to a circuit, by using either a bottle fuse holder or by connecting the ends of the bottle fuse to the adjacent parts. Bottle fuses use a colour indicator at the head of the fuse to indicate when the fuse has blown, identifying a problem with the circuit. When a bottle fuse and a bottle fuse holder are both used in a circuit, there is increased protection of the connected device or circuit because the bottle fuse holder contains a link that breaks in the event of an overload or short circuit. Types of Bottle Fuses Bottle Fuses come in a variety of specifications, with different shapes and sizes depending on the circuit and voltage ratings used. RS supply Siemens bottle fuses in D01, D02, D03, DII, DIII, DIV and NDz. Bottle fuses are also offered in two application categories GG and GR depending on the connected circuit or device.
