Eaton 160A British Standard Fuse B2 415V ac, 111 mm

This low-voltage British Standard fuse from Eaton can be used to protect electrical equipment such as wiring systems and industrial and switchgear applications. It's a bolted tag fuse (also known as an offset slotted fuse), meaning it's fitted with tags that you can use to screw it into a fuse holder or to bolt it directly onto a busbar. This fuse will also mount into a 200DF fuse block. As a gG-type fuse, it's suitable for general-purpose use.

• High rupture capacity means it's able to withstand short-term surges up to 80 kA at 690 V AC without blowing

This fuse is suitable for type-2 coordinated applications as defined in IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) 947-4, meaning it should blow without significant damage to the starter, so you can still use the application following a short circuit.

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.
