Eaton British Standard Fuse, 6A Current Rating, 690V AC Voltage - 6CT


This British Standard Fuse is a high-speed fuse designed for efficient circuit protection in various applications. With a current rating of 6A and a voltage rating of 690V AC or 500V DC, this 73mm long fuse ensures reliable operation. It incorporates high rupture capacity technology, making it suitable for protecting semiconductor devices and DC systems.

Features & Benefits


• High-speed operation reduces the risk of circuit damage
• Rated for both AC and DC applications which enhances versatility
• Exceptional breaking capacity safeguards against overload situations
• Offset bolted tags ensure a secure and reliable connection
• Complies with standards BS 88 and IEC 60269 for quality assurance
• Compact dimensions enable easy installation in tight spaces

Applications


• Used for semiconductor protection in electronic circuits
• Suitable for DC common bus systems and drives
• Effective in power converters and rectifiers for safety
• Ideal for environments requiring high rupture capacity fuses

What is the significance of the breaking capacity in this fuse?


The breaking capacity indicates the maximum current the fuse can interrupt without causing failure. This fuse has a breaking capacity of 90kA RMS symmetrical for AC and 40kA for DC at 500V, ensuring it can handle fault conditions effectively.

How does the fuse's design enhance its performance under fault conditions?


The fuse's high rupture capacity design allows it to clear faults quickly, minimising potential damage to connected equipment. This is particularly essential in applications involving sensitive electronic components.

What are the advantages of using offset bolted tags?


Offset bolted tags ensure a secure connection, reducing the likelihood of loose connections that could lead to overheating or arcing. This feature enhances overall operational safety and reliability.
