Ceramic Fuse Types

A thin metal strip inside the fuse conducts all electrical flow through the circuit and if the current flow exceeds the current carrying capacity of the metal strip it overheats and melts thereby interrupting the flow of current and shutting off the circuit.

Ceramic fuse types.

In bolted type fuse plates of this fuse are conducting are set to the base of the fuse. A time delay fuse also known as an anti surge or slow blow fuse is designed to allow a current which is above the rated value of the fuse to flow for a short period of time without the fuse blowing. They re used with glass fuses for protecting low current circuits or ceramic fuses for protecting high current circuits.
