What are the parts of a fuse?
A fuse typically consists of the following main parts:
1.Fuse Element: The fuse element is the heart of the fuse and is responsible for carrying and interrupting the current flow. It is usually a thin strip or wire made of a material with a relatively low melting point, such as copper, silver, or an alloy.
When the current exceeds the fuse’s rated value, the element heats up and melts, causing the fuse to open and break the circuit.RT18 Series AC and DC Din Rail Fuse Holder
2.Fuse Body: The fuse body provides physical support and insulation for the fuse element. It is typically made of ceramic, glass, or plastic materials. The body encloses and protects the fuse element from external influences and provides electrical insulation.
3.End Caps/Terminals: The end caps or terminals are metallic components attached to each end of the fuse body. They provide electrical connections for the fuse element, allowing it to be connected within the electrical circuit.
The end caps can be designed in various forms, such as blades, screws, or clips, depending on the type and application of the fuse.RT18 Series AC and DC Din Rail Fuse Holder
4.Filling Material (Optional): In some fuses, there may be a filling material inside the fuse body. This material may be a sand-like substance or a gas, such as nitrogen or argon.
The filling material helps extinguish the arc that occurs when the fuse opens, improving the fuse’s performance and reliability.
5.Indication or Markings: Fuses often have markings or indicators on their bodies to provide information about their ratings, such as current rating, voltage rating, and other specifications. These markings help users identify the appropriate fuse for a particular application.
It’s important to note that the design and components of fuses can vary depending on the type, size, and application. For example, blade fuses commonly used in automotive applications may have different physical configurations compared to cartridge fuses used in industrial systems.
The fundamental purpose of all fuses, however, remains the same—to protect electrical circuits by interrupting current flow under abnormal conditions.

Application scenarios of din rail fuse holder?
Din rail mount Fuse holder used as shunt protection switch in three-phase AC electrical control system.
How does a fuse holder work?
RT18 series din rail mount fuse holder is suitable for AC 50Hz, rated insulation voltage to 8kV, and agreed heating current to 125A.
It is mainly used as circuit protection device in electrical lines. The wires connected to terminals at both ends of the base are formed through the conduction of the fuse.RT18 Series AC and DC Din Rail Fuse Holder
The fuse can automatically disconnect the circuit and protect the circuit. Operate the base to disconnect the circuit. It has the function of isolating power supply after polyphase feeding.
