CYLINDRICAL FUSE, DIAMETER Ø 5 X 20MM, DELAYED 250V AC, GLASS, USA

Description

Cylindrical fuses, also called cartridge fuses, are used to protect electrical circuits from overloads.
When too high a current passes, the internal wire burns, interrupting the circuit and avoiding damage to the application. To restore the system it will be necessary to change the fuse.

Glass and ceramic fuses have similar characteristics, glass ones are often preferred simply because it is possible to see inside and identify the blown one.

This fuse has a “time-delayed” type S speed. They are designed to protect to tolerate a higher level for short periods without shorting. They are ideal for those applications involving current peaks.

To release the correct fuse, a higher breaking capacity must be chosen than the fault capacity of the application. If the breaking capacity is exceeded, the fuse blows blocking the current.

These fuses are designed for the American market
