Need a simple safety solution to protect your electrical appliance from danger? Go for this cartridge fuse from Eaton. It monitors the circuit and steps in to take the fall and cut power in the event of a short circuit or overload. This prevents damage to your equipment and prolongs its lifespan. A 3A current rating means this component is ideally suited to light-duty applications. As a T-type device, it allows small inrushes before tripping, so it goes hand-in-hand with appliances such as fluorescent lighting. You'll find fuses like this one used in domestic electronics.

• Installation can be direct or through a fuse holder for versatility
• Glass body gives a clear view of its internal parts, so it's easy to see when it's been tripped
• Brass end caps are conductive to offer a dependable connection

It's important to pick a fuse with an amp rating above the continuous load current but below the total capacity of your circuit. This will ensure it trips when there's an electrical fault.
