• Anti Surge (T) HBC – Ceramic Bodied, 5 x 20. Anti-surge ceramic cartridge f***s are designed to prevent damage to electrical equipment. These f***s allow an electric current to flow through until the current goes over the f***s rating then it will blow and stop the flow of electricity. This range of ceramic cartridge f***s are 5 x 20mm with a T speed rating 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 HBC (High Breaking Capacity).
