Eaton 10A British Standard Fuse, F1, 550V ac

Eaton Bussmann's offset tag fuses (or offset bolted tag fuses) are essentially a cylindrical fuse that is fitted with offset brackets, these brackets allow the fuse to be bolted onto a fuse holder. Predominantly, this type of fuse is used within installations as a "weak link". They are designed to break when a fault occurs, such as an overcurrent or short circuit - they are a safety and damage measure. Eaton Bussmann's fuses are commonly found within a multitude of industrial and switchgear applications, electrical equipment, wiring systems and circuit breakers. This fuse range is suitable for general purpose use.

• The low-temperature rise enables the fuse to be suitable for high-density mounting
• Fuse links, specifically designed for the protection of equipment
• Conforms to industry standards
• Low voltage fuse
• High rupture capacity (HRC)
• Suitable for three-phase applications
• Suitable for type 2 co-ordinated applications as defined in IEC 947-4
• Low power loss, typically 20% lower than the requirements of BS 88

A slotted tag fuse is distinguished by the metal slotted tags that extend off the ends of the fuse. This tag can either enable the fuse to have an offset tag or be centred to the fuse. Predominantly, this type of fuse is used within installations as a "weak link". They are designed to break when a fault occurs, such as an overcurrent or short circuit - they are a safety and damage protection measure within electrical circuits.

Protect your circuit from overloads and short circuits with this British standard fuse from Eaton. The cylindrical body slots into your circuit’s fuse holder using the offset tags protruding from either end. Inside, there's a thin wire that melts if a current that's too high for the circuit passes through for an extended period. Once the wire is melted, the circuit is physically broken and the current is stopped. This standard fuse is used for general switchgear requirements in industrial or commercial applications.

• Specifically designed for low-voltage 10A (ampere) maximum input currents
• High rupture capacity (HRC) means the fuse carries overcurrent for a defined period before breaking
• High-quality design ensures your circuit doesn’t lose large amounts of power through the fuse

This fuse is a compact device that has a body height of 34.6mm, with an overall length of 58.5mm when the tags are taken into account. The diameter of the fuse is 13.8mm, while the tags have a width of 12.7mm.
