A Cartridge Fuse Holder is a Critical Safety Component of Your Electrical System

 

A Cartridge Fuse holder is an electrical device that clamps and connects a cartridge fuse to an electrical circuit. The primary function of a cartridge fuse holder is to provide an ejector so that the operator can easily remove the fuse cartridge from the holder. The ejector also helps eliminate the possibility of an operator coming in contact with a circuit terminal. It is commonly used in the case of car fuses.

Conventional Fuse Holder

Unlike the conventional fuse holder, a cartridge fuse is mounted inside a metal holder. This design keeps the cartridge from moving and trapping heat. Generally, a fuse breaker has a slot to allow for the installation of the holder. This opening is a convenient place to mount the holder. The opening of a Cartridge Fuse carries the fuse and the wire. However, an enclosed fusing device may not be ideal for some applications.

The fuse holder for a Cartridge Fuse includes U-shaped members on the bottom extremities of the respective clips. The connecting element causes the fuses to move simultaneously. The actuator then rotates the holder, thereby displacing the cartridge. The two U-shaped members must be placed in the same direction to prevent the fusing of the cartridge. A properly mounted Cartridge fuse catcher is essential for safe and reliable fuse operation.

Critical Safety Component

A Cartridge Fuse holder is a critical safety component of your electrical system. This holder must be able to withstand the voltage at the output side of the fuse and should not allow the cartridge to move from its location. Similarly, a fusing device should not be exposed to any extreme temperature. It is a vital component of the system. Regardless of its size, a Catridge fusing holder can protect the circuit in a safe manner.

The fuse holder is a convenient and effective way to install a cartridge fuse in a circuit. Its simple design and effective use allow it to be an extremely low-cost solution. As long as it is placed in the right position, a Cartridge Fuse holder can be installed without damaging electrical components. Once a device is installed, it will be ready to power up. And it is easy to clean.

Clips Are Secured At The Bottom

In a car, a Cartridge Fuse holder is made of two U-shaped members that rotate in the fuse block. The clips are secured at the bottom with screws or cooperating nuts. A fuse block should have an end cap that fits snugly in the compartment. This will prevent the holder from moving while the cartridge is in place. The end cap can be twisted and positioned in the right way to fit the cartridge.

The design of a ceramic Cartridge Fuse holder can be based on different specifications. Its maximum voltage is 600 VAC and the current capacity is 30 amps. It is also designed to hold a 13/32" X 1-1/2" fuse. Moreover, this type of holder is designed to be mounted on a panel with 1-1/2" centers. Alternatively, a cartridge fuse ring with a four-conductor connector is available for installation in a WAGO 261-331.
