BUSSMANN 40FE High Speed Fuse, 40 A, 690 VAC

Bussmann 40FE specialty fuse is used to safeguard sensitive electronic circuits & high-power equipment. It is ideal for industrial machinery, power distribution systems and renewable energy installations.

Working Mechanism:

• Under normal conditions, current flows through the specialty fuse with low resistance.
• Excessive current surge from faults like short circuits triggers a rapid increase in current.
• The conductive element heats up due to the high current passing through it.
• At a critical temperature, the conductive element either melts or breaks, creating an open circuit.
• This open circuit interrupts the faulty circuit, preventing further damage and hazards.
• The ceramic body contains potential sparks or fires resulting from the fault.
• After resolving the fault, the fuse must be replaced to restore protection.

Features:

• It features a cartridge blade fuse body style for enabling seamless integration into systems.
• This 40FE specialty fuse has a current rating of 40A and a voltage rating of 500VAC.
• It features a stud mounting style that enhances its reliability for critical applications, ensuring a secure installation.
• This Bussmann 40A fuse includes a bolt-down termination style to maintain a strong & stable connection, reinforcing the overall circuit integrity.
