BUSSMANN 80ET Specialty Fuse, 80 A, 500 VAC

Bussmann 80ET specialty fuse provides enhanced protection for critical circuits in industrial machinery, power distribution systems, electronic devices, automotive systems and renewable energy installations. This specialty fuse ensures reliable performance in demanding environments.

Working Mechanism:

• When the current flowing through the circuit exceeds the rated threshold, the fuse detects the overcurrent condition.
• The excess current causes the fuse's internal element to heat up rapidly.
• As the element heats up, it melts and breaks the circuit path, interrupting the flow of current.
• The broken circuit path isolates the faulty portion of the circuit from the rest, preventing further damage.

Features:

• It features a compact design, enabling easy integration into space-constrained electrical systems.
• This fast-acting fuse offer quick response to overcurrent conditions, minimising potential damage to connected equipment.
• It has a diameter of 19.1 mm, making it easy to integrate into tight spaces within electrical systems.
• This fuse is equipped with a cartridge blade and offer a current rating of 80A, ensuring protection for circuits with substantial current needs.
• It has bolt-down termination, providing a secure and stable connection for effective circuit protection.
• This fuse offers stud-style mounting, ensuring secure and efficient installation onto compatible studs.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How do I install this Bussmann 80ET specialty fuse?

A.
