Fuses are safety devices used to protect electrical circuits from overcurrent or short circuits. Tag fuses are specifically designed for general industrial applications including power distribution, motor protection, and cable protection. Tag fuses can be easily identified by metal tags that protrude from the ends of the fuse body in either central or offset directions.

RS offer an extensive range of high-quality fuse links from leading brands including Mersen, Bussmann, ABB, and of course RS PRO.

### What are the different types of tag fuse?

### Bolted Tag

Bolted tag fuses are cylindrical type of fuse fitted with brackets at either end to bolt it onto a [fuse holder](/web/c/fuses-sockets-circuit-breakers/fuse-holders/). Bolted tag fuses mainly vary by their size and current rating, and these factors can differ quite widely. They can also differ by the fuse speed, voltage rating and tag orientation.

### Centred Tag

Centred tag fuses are square or rectangular with a central blade or tag. The tag allows easy installation into an open fuse base. Centre tag fuses come in a range of fuse speeds, voltage rating and amperages.

### Offset Tag

Offset tag fuses are a cylindrical fuse that features offset mounting tags at each end of the fuse. The tags can be solid or slotted. Offset fuses come in a range of fuse speeds, voltage ratings and amperages.

### Slotted Tag

Slotted tag fuses are generally circular in shape but can be square bodied. They feature slotted tags that can be straight or offset. Slotted tag fuses come in a range of fuse speeds, voltage ratings and amperages.

### Fuse utilisation categories

Our tag fuses come in a range of application categories to suit a wide range of industrial applications. Fuses are marked with letters that denote their characteristic or application. The first letter will be lower case, this indicates the breaking range. The second letter will be in upper case and indicates the characteristics.

g stands for full breaking capacity

a stands for partial range breaking capacity

Our tag fuses include gG, gG, aM, gR, gM and many more.

Siemens Slotted Tag Fuses | RS

Siemens Slotted Tag Fuses are safety components that are used to protect a circuit from overloading or short circuiting. How do Slotted Tag Fuses work? Siemens Slotted Tag Fuses are connected to a circuit either using a fuse holder or connector. the metal tag featured in the slotted tag fuse conducts electricity. However, when the circuit overloads or short circuits the metal strip within the fuse will melt, signalling that the fuse has blown, and the fuse must be replaced for the circuit to work correctly. Types of Slotted Tag Fuses Slotted Tag Fuses can be either cylindrical or square in shape and feature tags that can either be straight or fitted offset, depending on the desired need for the slotted tag fuse. Siemens Slotted Tag Fuses come in a range of sizes and a variety of fuse standards, including IEC 60269 and DINVDE 0636. The fuse speed, voltage and current ratings also vary depending on the type of slotted tag fuse needed for the specific circuit. RS offer a wide range of Siemens Slotted Tag Fuses that can be used in industrial electronic applications, including motor protection, power distribution and cable protection.

Eaton Tag Fuses | RS

Ensure vital protection for your electrical circuits and equipment with Eaton tag fuses from RS.<h2>What's a Tag Fuse?</h2>Tag fuses are a category of fuses which feature metal tags on the ends of the fuse body. They are designed for general purpose industrial applications. There are a few different varieties of tag fuse, including centred, offset, and slotted. These versions differ in their shape and where the metal tags are placed.Fuses work by cutting off power when overload or short-circuit conditions occur. Inside the fuse there is a fuse element which melts when excessive current flows through the circuit, ensuring the path of electricity is interrupted.Eaton have a vast range of tag fuses to choose from, so you can find the right one for any circuit protection application. Their offer includes the well-known Bussman fuses range, with blade, slotted, and bolted tag types, a variety of current ratings and fuse speeds, and square and cylindrical versions.In the realm of power management technology Eaton is a worldwide expert.
