Description
A glass fuse is a protective device used in electrical circuits to prevent damage from overcurrent conditions. It consists of a thin glass tube containing a small wire that melts when it is exposed to excessive current. This breaks the circuit and prevents further damage to the electrical components. The 10 Amp 250V glass fuse is rated for a maximum current of 10 amperes and a maximum voltage of 250 volts. It has a cylindrical shape with a diameter of 5mm and a length of 20mm.
Applications
- Household appliances: Protecting appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, and televisions from overcurrent damage.
- Industrial equipment: Protecting industrial machinery and equipment from electrical faults.
- Automotive electronics: Protecting car audio systems, lights, and other electronic components.
- Home electronics: Protecting home entertainment systems, computers, and other electronic devices.
Key Features
- High current rating: 10 Amp rating protects against overcurrent conditions up to 10 amperes.
- High voltage rating: 250V rating protects against overvoltage conditions up to 250 volts.
- Fast response time: The fuse quickly breaks the circuit when exposed to excessive current, preventing further damage.
- Reliable and durable: Made of high-quality materials for long-lasting performance.
- Easy to replace: Can be easily replaced in case of a fault.
