Eaton 100A British Standard Fuse A3 500V ac, 73.5 mm

Use this low-voltage electrical fuse from the Eaton range to protect your equipment from current surges in industrial and commercial applications. This general-purpose component can be used for electrical systems that require fast responses to overcurrent and short circuits.

• Current rating of 100A for use in heavy-duty applications

In some cases, yes. However, in critical upstream applications, a fuse is the necessary choice because it can withstand high fault levels without causing blackouts. A fuse also has a current-limiting feature that isn't found on a circuit breaker.

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

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.
