Eaton 100A British Standard Fuse A4 500V ac, 94 mm

This general-purpose fuse from the Eaton range provides reliable circuit protection in your electrical and industrial systems. It's designed to be a sacrificial device as it has an element that heats up, melts and breaks the circuit in the event of an overcurrent or short circuit.

• Current rating of 100A and voltage rating of 550V AC for demanding applications

Fuse speed is the time taken for a fuse to break in the event of a fault current. It depends on the fuse element, the operating temperature and the overload current of the component.

Eaton Bussmann's offset tag fuses (or offset bolted tag fuses) are essentially a cylindrical fuse that is fitted with offset brackets, these brackets allow the fuse to be bolted onto a fuse holder. Predominantly, this type of fuse is used within installations as a "weak link". They are designed to break when a fault occurs, such as an overcurrent or short circuit - they are a safety and damage measure. Eaton Bussmann's fuses are commonly found within a multitude of industrial and switchgear applications, electrical equipment, wiring systems and circuit breakers. This fuse range is suitable for general purpose use.

• The low-temperature rise enables the fuse to be suitable for high-density mounting

A slotted tag fuse is distinguished by the metal slotted tags that extend off the ends of the fuse. This tag can either enable the fuse to have an offset tag or be centred to the fuse. Predominantly, this type of fuse is used within installations as a "weak link". They are designed to break when a fault occurs, such as an overcurrent or short circuit - they are a safety and damage protection measure within electrical circuits.
