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. It acts as a weak link in the circuit, absorbing the damage that would otherwise have come to the system and instantly breaking the flow of current to it. A high-temperature tolerance allows the element in this fuse to melt without risk of explosion or electrical arcing.
Features & Benefits
Current rating of 100A for use in heavy-duty applications Length of 95mm for standard installation Weight of 55.75g avoids adding strain to equipment Voltage rating of 550V AC (alternating current) for safe breaking without electrical arcs
Can I replace a fuse with a circuit breaker?
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.
