Eaton 6A 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.

Install this British Standard fuse in your circuit to be sure of reliable current protection. The thin offset tags on either side of the fuse hold it in place and a central wire melts when it experiences a current over 6A (amperes). This ensures the circuit is physically broken and power stops flowing. Use it to protect against dangerous current overloads that could cause fires or electric shocks. It can also prevent a short circuit that could damage your electrical equipment. Fuses like this are commonly found in industrial switchgears.

• Sharp blade tag design slots into a fuse holder, creating a simple, secure connection to a circuit
• Can be continuously applied to alternating currents (AC) with voltages of up to 550V (volts)
• High rupture capacity (HRC) ensures the fuse breaks even high-voltage overloads

Yes, this fuse has low power dissipation to prevent it from draining your circuit of power as the current passes through. With this fuse, you lose 20% less power than what is normally required for a British Standard fuse, ensuring your current remains energy efficient.
