Features

• Glass cartridge f***s are ideal for providing protection to devices or internal circuits from short circuits and overcurrent. They are deliberately weaker components which, when too much current is drawn, will blow. Once the f*** has blown it will need replacing in order to make the circuit complete and allow the flow of current. Features: Glass cartridge 5 x 20 mm cartridge size T Speed Rating Anti-surge Low Breaking Capacity Typical applications: Cartridge f***s are a relatively cheap way of protecting electrical equipment from short circuits and overcurrent and can be ***d to protect electrical appliances such as motors air-conditions, refrigerator, pumps etc. They can be found in the following areas: Industrial Commercial Home/Residential Automotive. Additional Information:. Why choose a glass f***? Glass and ceramic f***s have similar properties. However you may choose a glass f*** as it enables you to see the inside of the f***. Therefore it is easier to determine whether the f*** has blown. What size is it? 5x20 mm is a standard cartridge size and it measures approximately 20 mm long by 5 mm in diameter. They are popular in board and panel protection and will fit a compatible 5x20 f*** holder. What Speed is it? This particular f*** is T speed rated which means it is a slow acting f***, sometimes referred to as anti-surge. It is able to tolerate higher levels for a short period, without shorting. Therefore, if a sudden change occurs, this f*** will not blow immediately. They are suitable for applications where a sudden flow of high current is required. What is Breaking Capacity? Breaking capacity is the level of current that the f*** can safely handle without exploding or rupturing. The breaking capacity of your f*** should be greater than the fault current of your electronic circuit. This particular f*** is LBC (Low Breaking Capacity).
