NITD10, Eaton 10A British Standard Fuse, A1, 550V ac, 44.5mm

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, 10A, 550V AC NITD10

This British Standard fuse from Eaton detects and stops short circuits and overcurrent to prevent faults from causing damage to equipment. A low temperature rise makes it well-suited to high-density distribution boards. It's also compact and needs minimal mounting space. The device features a high rupture capacity (HRC) so safeguards against very high currents as well as dips in electrical supply. There's very little need to maintain this component, as it's resistant to ageing and offers a long lifespan. Use this fuse to protect 3-phase low-voltage distribution equipment such as generators, transformers and power-feeder circuits.

• Dimensions of 55 (L) x 34.6 (H) x 13.8mm (D)
• Slotted tags on either end allow for quick and simple mounting and removal
• Well-sealed to stop external conditions affecting its function and reliability
• Compatible with both alternating current (AC) and direct (DC) current for improved versatility

What's meant by fuse speed?

Fuse speed is the time it takes for a fuse to blow. There are different types of fuse speeds to suit various applications. These are ultra-rapid, fast-acting and slow-acting types.
