Ferraz Shawmut Fuses

Products

UL Class RK5 Fuses

Also known as dual-element fuses, these time-delay fuses withstand current overload for a short time so they won't open when exposed to harmless temporary surges, such as when starting a motor.

UL Class CC Time-Delay
Midget Fuses for Motors

These fuses can withstand the high inrush current caused by a motor starting.

UL Class CC Time-Delay
Midget Fuses for Transformers

Designed to handle high inrush currents and the initial current cycle unique to transformers, these fuses provide comparable performance with a smaller footprint than standard size fuses.

UL Class CC Fast-Acting
Midget Fuses

These fuses open circuits quickly when surges are detected.

UL Class J Time-Delay
Fuses for Tight Spaces

Also known as dual-element fuses, these fuses withstand current overload for a short time so they won't open when exposed to harmless temporary surges, such as when starting a motor.

UL Class J Fast-Acting
Fuses for Tight Spaces

These fuses open circuits quickly when surges are detected.

UL Class K5 Fuses

Use these fast-acting fuses in applications where temporary overload current is not present, such as in lighting and heating.

UL Class G Fast-Acting Midget Fuses

These fuses open circuits quickly when surges are detected.

UL Class G Time-Delay Midget Fuses

Able to withstand current overload for a short time, these fuses will not open when exposed to harmless temporary surges, such as when starting a motor.

UL Class RK1 Time-Delay Fuses

Also known as dual-element fuses, these fuses withstand current overload for a short time so they won't open when exposed to harmless temporary surges, such as when starting a motor.

UL Class RK1 Fast-Acting Fuses

These fuses open circuits quickly when surges are detected.

UL Class T Fuses for
Extra-Tight Spaces

Smaller than UL Class J fuses, these fast-acting fuses can be used in extra-tight spaces such as meters, uninterruptible power supplies, and variable-speed drives.

UL Class L High-Current Fuses

These time-delay fuses are suitable for high-current power applications.

Replacement Elements for UL Class
H Replaceable-Element Fuses

UL Class H
Replaceable-Element Fuses

Replace the current-carrying element rather than the entire fuse after the fuse breaks. These fuses are fast-acting.

Fast-Acting Ceramic-Tube Fuses

These fuses open circuits quickly when surges are detected.

Time-Delay Ceramic-Tube Fuses

Able to withstand current overload for a short time, these fuses will not open when exposed to harmless temporary surges, such as when starting a motor.

Fuses for Sensitive Electronics

With a quicker response than standard fast-acting fuses, these fuses provide the best protection for sensitive electronics.

Fast-Acting Glass-Tube Fuses

These fuses open circuits quickly when surges are detected.

Time-Delay Glass-Tube Fuses

Able to withstand current overload for a short time, these fuses will not open when exposed to harmless temporary surges, such as when starting a motor.

Time-Delay Midget Fuses

Able to withstand current overload for a short time, these fuses will not open when exposed to harmless temporary surges, such as when starting a motor.

Fast-Acting Midget Fuses

These fuses open circuits quickly when surges are detected.

1,000V DC Fuses

Developed for the solar industry, these fuses meet the needs of high-voltage DC applications.

Fuses for Multimeters

Compatible with most multimeters, including Fluke.

European Fuses

Use these fuses with equipment made in Europe.

European Milk Bottle Fuses

Also known as diazed or Type D fuses.

Fast-Acting Lift Truck Fuses

These fuses open circuits quickly when surges are detected.

Time-Delay Lift Truck Fuses

Able to withstand current overload for a short time, these fuses will not open when exposed to harmless temporary surges, such as when starting a motor.

Automotive Fuses

These fuses are suitable for low-voltage automotive and other electronic applications.

High-Current Automotive Fuses

Suitable for battery and alternator circuit protection, these fuses can handle higher current than standard automotive fuses.

Long-Time-Delay Plug Base Fuses

These fuses have a longer time delay than standard time-delay fuses. Use them in motor applications where the motor is cycled on and off frequently.

Time-Delay Plug Base Fuses

Able to withstand current overload for a short time, these fuses will not open when exposed to harmless temporary surges, such as during equipment start-up.

Thermal Fuses

Also known as thermal cut-offs, these fuses prevent equipment from overheating by opening circuits to cut off power.

Touch-Safe Fuses

Prevent accidental contact with electrical circuits—these fuses have an enclosed design with recessed plug-in blades.

Time-Delay Inline Fuses

Able to withstand current overload for a short time, these fuses will not open when exposed to harmless temporary surges.
