Description

If you are purchasing fuses online, we recommend only using a reputable supplier such as RS Components or Farnell. Both of these companies are able to provide data sheets and compliance documentation for the products they sell. Identifying counterfeit electrical equipment is becoming an important part of the inspection process and is something that we cover in our courses. Counterfeit BS1362 Fuse Testing Surprisingly the fuse does contain the sand filling required, most counterfeit fuses do not have any filling. The sand is required to control the breaking operation of the fuse. Without this filling material, the air within the fuse expands as the fuse wire melts and arcs, causing the fuse to explode, as demonstrated in our previous article on fake fuses. The car draws 250 to 300A to spin the starter. How long can I crank the engine while my son and the nervous alarm man hold the 2.5mm onto the 2 batteries without burning either of them ? ii) the rated current or current setting of the protective device (In) does not exceed the lowest of the currentcarrying The fuses have the ASTA approval symbol and appear to be branded 'CF' and marked AF63. (A BS1362 fuse must have the manufacturer's name or identifying mark.) They also have a number printed on them: SS157.

The rated current or current setting of the protective device (In) is not less than the design current of the circuit and The operating characteristics of a device protecting a conductor against overload shall satisfy the Simon's response correlates with what my understanding is telling me - which seems at odds with the pretty confident guidance/statements in the Beama guide. Well a 13 A fuse will carry 13A all day, and may not blow in any sensible time even at 20-25A, depending on manufacturing tolerances and environmental temperatures.The shiny metal end caps are also a good indicator that the fuse is not genuine. The end cap on the genuine Cooper Bussmann fuse is not as shiny. This fake fuse also has a larger than normal dimple in the end of the cap.

Breaking the fuse open confirms that these fuses are counterfeit. There is no sand filling. The quartz sand inside a genuine BS1362 is designed to control the rupture of the fuse wire within the ceramic body.

You can only compare up to four products at a time.

The manufacturing standard of these fuses is particularly poor. The fuse wire is simply trapped between the end cap and body. A genuine BS1362 fuse has the internal wire connected to an eyelet inside the centre of the cap.

NOTE 2: Protection in accordance with this regulation may not provide protection in all cases, for example, where sustained Part 2: Overcurrent: A current exceeding the rated value. For conductors the rated value is the current carrying capacity.A few months ago I found myself with mapj1 junior in the car at a remote place with a defective battery. The jump leads were in Mrs mapj1s car at the time. Then it began to rain. That sort of day. In the spirit of learning from my betters I will lay myself open to ridicule! I'm faintly terrified at having my life changed though! ? BS 1362 also specifies the fusing current as 1.9 times the rated current (I f = 1.9 I n). If the current exceeds the fusing current, the fuse must blow within 30 minutes. So a 13A fuse must blow within 30 minutes when carrying a current that exceeds 24.7A. I'd never have dared to do anything like that - 2.5mm is for 16 amps innit ?” well maybe under some condition, not sure what alarm chaps get taught about installation methods and de-rating.. The fusein a plugis a deliberate weak link in a circuit which will 'blow' if an electrical appliance or extension lead draws too much current due to either an overload or a fault.
