This range of Red Spot fuse holders are also known as finger-safe fuse holders, originally created and designed to be used with BS88 fuses. These types of fuse holders will predominantly be found within industrial and commercial environments. The rail mount fuse holders contain fuses that are slotted into sets with metal contacts.

• Red Spot range of fuse holders are industry standard for protecting utility and industrial installations
• Anti-vibration and the large contact system ensures a perfect carrier contact alignment and superior electrical contact
• Each conductor insulating sleeve help to prevent inadvertent contact at the entry point whilst fully shrouded terminals deliver an IP20 rating. (Holding an IP20 rating means that the fuse holder has ingress protection against solid objects up to 12 mm - such as a person's finger and no protection against liquids)
• The parts are moulded, constructed from flame-retardant, non-hygroscopic, high dielectric strength phenolic material
• Red Spot fuse holders range offers a multitude of different accessories and Bussman fuses
• Designed to protect applications from potentially devastating effects of low, short circuits and overvoltage conditions
• Compatible with standard and motor rated fuses
• Taper shank fuse fixing screws ensure easy re-entry
• Large fuse carriers contact areas for low resistance and longer life
• Full shrouded construction

One of the main functions of a rail mount fuse holder is to offer circuit protection, it is to also offer protection to both the user and the equipment in the event of a circuit overload within any given application.

Choose this fuse holder from Eaton to protect utility and industrial installations. It works together with a B2 type fuse to safeguard electrical devices such as computer systems and factory equipment. The carrier securely holds a fuse, which blows in the event of a short circuit or dip in supply voltage. It has high dielectric strength for complete insulation in the event of voltage spikes, which helps to protect connected equipment and any operators in contact with it. As the holder also has anti-vibration properties, it won't accidentally release in jarring conditions. This makes it suitable for demanding industrial environments, such as those found in low-voltage process control applications.

• Fully shrouded to ensure no live metal is exposed when the carrier is removed, for improved workplace safety
• IP20 (ingress protection) rating certifies the device is touch-proof and resistant to dust or objects greater than 12mm in size

This fuse holder is made of a tough phenolic compound that's non-hygroscopic, so doesn't absorb moisture. The material is also flame retardant, which means it won't ignite in the event of an electrical fire.
