What are the types of fuses according to their shape?
According to shape, fuses can be divided into the following four types:
a.British Standard Fuse
The British-style fuse housing is made of ceramic material and has a cylindrical tube body. It has the characteristics of small size, strong surge resistance, high cost performance, low arc voltage, and low power consumption. Generally, fuses less than 100A are recommended to use British series fuses. device. The British standard BS88 fuse style is shown in the figure.
b.American Standard Fuse
The American fuse series products, both ends of the contact knife are integrated, the melt is directly welded at one time, can resist strong impact and vibration, has high flame retardant, high insulation performance, low arc voltage, low power consumption, this series is electric The choice of automobile, generally the fuse of 100A is recommended to use the American standard series to increase reliability.
c.European Standard Fuse
The European standard square fuse shell is made of ceramic material. This product has the characteristics of low operating temperature, low power loss, and small Joule integral value. It is suitable for applications requiring compact structure, superior performance and high power, especially in manual maintenance switches (MSD) is used extensively. European standard square fuse, style as shown.
d. French standard fuse
The French standard fuse has the characteristics of strong cycle performance, small size and unique structure. The modular base is easy to install and has a compact structure. It is suitable for PDUs, BDUs, small AC drives and other low-power applications with small footprints.
