Bottle Fuses

What are bottle fuses?

Bottle fuses feature different sized ends to prevent the wrong fuse from being inserted into a particular electrical circuit. Bottle fuses or D-Type fuses contain a link that breaks during an overload or short circuit scenario to protect the rest of the electrical system.

How do bottle fuses work?

Bottle fuses are inserted into the circuit in a similar way to normal fuses, by connecting their two ends or by using a holder. When a bottle fuse blows, the coloured indicator at the head of the fuse pops out to let the user know that there is a problem.

What types of bottle fuse are available?

There are two types of bottle fuse available in the market:

gL/gG - slow blow protects cable and conductors from damage due to overload and short circuits.

gR - super fast blow protects semiconductors like diodes and SCRS
