Uses of fuse:

A 5 cent shorted fuse can really cost you

OK! ... Don't Blow a Fuse!

We all know, when it comes to a blown fuse, 90% of the downtime is finding out the fuse is blown. 10% of the downtime to replace it. If you don't stock a certain fuse, the percentage might be 80/20. Business Industrial Network helps you reduce that 90% with technical help to find that the fuse is blown. We also want to help with that extra 10% downtime when you don't have an exact fuse match in stock. That's what this page is for.

Fuse Advice:

Do a fuse audit. This way you will not have downtime waiting for a fuse to be purchased, or extra downtime occurrences do to incorrect fuse usage.

Documented cases show savings of $27,000 (Based on T&M only. If "True Cost of Downtime" was calculated, true savings would be much higher.)

Use Littelfuse's fuses with indicator shows which fuse is blown at a glance. This results in quicker maintenance, less downtime and better safety.

Fuse Types:

Motor&Transformers Applications: You need time delay fuses or Class "C" to handle start up current.

(JTD,FLNR, FLSR, IDSR,2CO, 2CC,CCMR)

Branch Circuit Applications: You need fast acting fuses that should be the HRC** type.

(JLS, JFC,KLNR, KLSR,NLN, NLKP, NLS,JLLN, JLLS,KLKR)

Capacitor Applications: You need current limiting HRC** fuses.

(Any current limiting HRC** fuse of proper value)

Miniature and low Voltage Circuit Applications:

(Too numerous to mention here, see online resource.)

**Note: HRC= High Rupturing Capacity-A precisely rated fuse which will operate under high fault current conditions, without self-destructing.
