Classification of Fuses
Fuses are divided into two categories: high voltage and low voltage. High voltage fuses for 3kV-35kV; Low voltage fuses are used for AC 220V, 380V, and DC 220V, 440V.
High voltage fuses are divided into indoor and outdoor types, and the model description is as follows:
For example, RN1-3/150-200 is indoor. The rated voltage is 3kV, the rated current is 150A, and the breaking capacity is 200MVA.
Indoor models include RN1, RN2, RN3, RN5, RN6, etc., outdoor models include RW3, RW4, RW10, etc., and DC electric vehicles use RNZ, RNZ1, etc.
Low voltage fuses are commonly classified into three categories: plug-in, tubular, and spiral. It can also be divided into three types: open type, semi closed type, and closed type.
The open type is not used alone and is often combined with a knife switch; One or both ends of the semi enclosed tube are opened, and the molten particles are sprayed out in a certain direction. Please pay attention to safety when using; Closed type commonly includes plug-in type, unfilled tube type, filled tube type, and filled spiral type. The meaning of the letters for low-voltage fuses is as follows:
R-fuse; C-plug-in; L-spiral; M - Closed tube type; S-fast; T - Packed tube type. For example, RC1 and RC1A are plug-in; RM - unfilled tube type; RT0, RL1, and RLS are respectively filled tube type and filled spiral type.

The Types of Fuses
2024-02-10 - Design Article According to different usage scenarios and characteristics, fuses can be divided into the following types:Glass tube fuse is the most common type of fuse, usually composed of a glass tube and two end joints, with a metal wire inside. When the current exceeds the rated value, the metal wire will melt and cut off the circuit. This type of fuse is usually suitable for low voltage, low current circuits.
Why are Domestic Fuses Cheap?
2024-01-07 - Design Article When choosing fuses, although they are of the same type, there are still differences. For example, the prices, quality, and parameters of fuses produced by domestic, foreign, and different fuse manufacturers may vary. Especially in terms of price, domestic fuses are cheaper than foreign ones. Why is this? There are also reasons from the fuse manufacturer.
How to Choose Fuses for Blockage Experiments
2024-09-13 - Technical Discussion This article introduces How to choose fuses for blockage experiments.Ensure that the selected fuses comply with relevant certification and standard requirements, such as UL, CE, etc. This can ensure the quality and safety of the fuse.
What Is The Difference between Resettable Fuses and Traditional Fuses?
2024-09-04 - Technical Discussion PPTC and fuses both do the same job: protecting electronic circuits from overcurrent related issues. The difference is that the fuse must be replaced after tripping, while PPTC can reset itself. PPTC can handle sudden overcurrent events without the need for replacement.
Selection of Current Fuses in Automotive Circuits
2024-11-16 - Technical Discussion In automotive circuits, the selection of current fuses is of great significance for ensuring the safe operation of the vehicle. There are several key factors to consider when choosing a current fuse for an automotive circuit.
Main Parameters for Selecting Patch Fuses
2023-12-03 - Design Article The voltage rating of the fuse must be greater than or equal to the high voltage of the disconnected circuit. Due to the very low resistance of the fuse, the voltage rating of the fuse becomes important only when the fuse attempts to blow. After the fuse element melts, the fuse must be able to quickly disconnect, extinguish the arc, and prevent the open circuit voltage from triggering the arc again through the disconnected fuse element.
How to Understand the Holding Current and Triggering Current of Fuses
2023-12-20 - Design Article A netizen left a message asking: How do you understand the difference between maintaining the current and triggering the current of a fuse? Fuses all have a holding current and a triggering current. Below, the XC FUSE will analyze the difference between the holding current and the triggering current of fuses.

What Do You Need to Know about Automotive Fuses
2024-01-25 - Design Article For automotive fuses, let‘s first understand: fuses are common names, their scientific name is fuse, but we usually refer to them as fuses. Their basic function is to protect the circuit when overcurrent occurs.Generally speaking, fuses mainly have two important parameters: rated current and rated voltage. We usually choose the corresponding specifications of fuses based on the current and voltage of the circuit. Automotive fuses generally adopt a plug-in design, with a plastic outer shell wrapped in a molten structure made of zinc or copper, and a metal melt connected to the pins.
How to Design Chip Fuses
2023-11-27 - Design Article In electronic products, chip fuses have two functions: protecting end users from harm and protecting circuits from damage.
