Eaton 32A British Standard Fuse A2 550V ac, 73 mm

Choose this electrical fuse from the Eaton range for overcurrent and short circuit protection. It's a gG (general purpose) type fuse so it can hold out for two to five seconds when it receives five times its rated current.

• Overall length of 85mm to fit into compact circuit designs

No, once an irregularity in voltage or current flow causes a fuse element to break, the whole fuse needs to be replaced immediately to keep your equipment safe to use and protected from damage.

Eaton Bussmann's offset tag fuses (or offset bolted tag fuses) are essentially a cylindrical fuse that is fitted with offset brackets, these brackets allow the fuse to be bolted onto a fuse holder. Predominantly, this type of fuse is used within installations as a "weak link". They are designed to break when a fault occurs, such as an overcurrent or short circuit - they are a safety and damage measure. Eaton Bussmann's fuses are commonly found within a multitude of industrial and switchgear applications, electrical equipment, wiring systems and circuit breakers. This fuse range is suitable for general purpose use.

• The low-temperature rise enables the fuse to be suitable for high-density mounting

A slotted tag fuse is distinguished by the metal slotted tags that extend off the ends of the fuse. This tag can either enable the fuse to have an offset tag or be centred to the fuse. Predominantly, this type of fuse is used within installations as a "weak link". They are designed to break when a fault occurs, such as an overcurrent or short circuit - they are a safety and damage protection measure within electrical circuits.
