Eaton Bussmann HRC Offset Tag Fuses - BS88 British Standard Fuses


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.

Features & Benefits


• The low-temperature rise enables the fuse to be suitable for high-density mounting
• Fuse links, specifically designed for the protection of equipment
• Conforms to industry standards
• Low voltage fuse
• High rupture capacity (HRC)
• Suitable for three-phase applications
• Suitable for type 2 co-ordinated applications as defined in IEC 947-4
• Low power loss, typically 20% lower than the requirements of BS 88

Why use a slotted tag fuse?


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.

Eaton British Standard Fuse, F1 Size, 20A - Eaton Series - NSD20


Prevent current overloads and short circuits in your electrical devices with this British Standard fuse. Overload conditions occur when a circuit's current exceeds its rated capacity for an extended period. This can cause equipment faults as well as fire or shock hazards. The central wire in this component melts away if an overload occurs to safely break power to the circuit. You'll find this general-purpose fuse used in industrial and commercial settings.

Features & Benefits


• 20A current capacity for use with larger low-voltage electrical circuits
• F1 style bladed tags slot into your circuit’s fuse holder for quick and easy installation
• The physical circuit-breaking mechanism is reliable as it doesn’t depend on digital processes
• Compact cylindrical body prevents power loss through the fuse to keep your circuit energy-efficient

What's the breaking capacity of this British Standard fuse?


The fuse's high breaking capacity of 80kA (kiloamperes) helps reduce the risk of fire and prevent damage to devices from unstable electrical flow. This means you can trust it will perform effectively with overcurrents up to 80kA, melting the fuse's wire in case of a fault to safely stop all electrical charges.
