Eaton 7A F Ceramic Cartridge Fuse, 6.3 x 25mm

This range of fuses from Eaton Bussmann are fast-acting with high rupture capacity. They are suitable for various different uses, providing reliable performance and cost-effective circuit protection. They are ideal for use in plugs to protect cables from melting or catching fire if they are overloaded.

Why choose ceramic cartridge fuse?

Ceramic and glass cartridge fuses have similar properties. The capacity of a ceramic cartridge fuse is higher than other fuses, which means that ceramic fuses can be used in circuits that have a higher current rating. They are perfect for protecting against overheating.

What size is it?

This range of fuses is 6.3 x 25 mm, meaning they are 25mm long and 6.3mm in diameter.

What is HBC?

HBC stands for high breaking current and refers to the maximum current that the fuse can handle without breaking. It is also known as HRC (High Rupturing Capacity).

What Speed is it?

These fuses are “F” speed rated, which is short for Fast Acting. This is also known as fast blow and is popular in general purpose applications. They are designed not to handle current spikes over the rated current.

What voltage is it?

These cartridge fuses are available with 1 to 13 Amp current ratings for applications where the system voltage rating is 240 Volts AC.

What is Breaking Capacity?

Breaking capacity is the level of current that the fuse can safely handle without exploding or breaking. The breaking capacity of your fuse should be greater than the fault current of your electronic circuit.

What are cartridge fuses used for?

• For the protection of components and equipment from costly damage used by over-current
• To isolate sub-systems from the main system once a fault has appeared

What is an overcurrent?

It is a setting where a circuit experiences a current that is higher than the normal operating current.

IEC 269-3A

This Eaton cartridge fuse cools the risk of heat damage caused by electrical faults in your system. It's a fast-blow device that's triggered when your circuit's current rises above 7A, so it stops power surges in their tracks and prevents damage to your equipment. Thanks to highly conductive nickel-plated brass endcaps, the fuse achieves a solid connection to prevent nuisance trips and keep your electrical setup working efficiently. Standard fuses like this one are popular choices for use in commercial kitchens and the retail industry.

• Halogen-free design minimises risk of toxic substances forming in fires so it's safe for use in public settings
• Maximum breaking capacity of 6kA makes quick work of cutting off hazardous current spikes
• Cylindrical body shape, making for easy installation and replacement in fuse holders
• Low power usage of 1W provides energy-efficient electrical safety

This fuse has a service life of at least 1000 hours at its rated current. If subjected to regular overcurrent, the unit's lifespan will be shorter.
