The Types of Fuses
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.
Hot melt fuse is also a commonly used fuse, which is made of fusing alloy inside. When the current exceeds the rated value, the fusing alloy will melt and break, cutting off the circuit. This type of fuse is usually suitable for high-current, high-temperature circuits.
High voltage fuse is a type of fuse specifically used in high-voltage circuits, with a fuse made of conductors inside. When the current exceeds the rated value, the fuse will melt and cut off the circuit.
