BUSSMANN BCM603-3P Fuse Block, Pressure Plate, 30 A, Pressure Plate Terminal

Bussmann BCM603-3P fuse block houses and protects electrical fuses. It is beneficial in electrical distribution systems to prevent overcurrent or short circuits from damaging electrical equipment or causing fires.

Working Mechanism:

• Bussmann fuse block contains multiple individual fuses, each connected to a specific electrical circuit.
• These fuses are designed with a predetermined current rating.
• When the current flowing through a circuit exceeds this rating due to a short circuit or overload, the fuse acts as a bottleneck, restricting the excessive current.

Features:

• Bussmann BCM603-3P fuse block is designed to snap together with other fuse blocks effortlessly.
• It can be mounted to any electric panel through provided DIN-Rails.
• This fuse block has a compact footprint and takes up minimal space within the panel.
• Its fuse clips are made of tin-plated bimetallic copper to offer superior fatigue resistance.
• Bussmann BCM603-3P fuse block has a thermoplastic base and cover that can withstand extremely cold temperatures (as low as -40 degrees C) and extreme heat (up to 120 degrees C).

Compatible Accessories:

• Bussmann CVRI-CCM Cover: This fuse block cover avoid theft and unintentional contact.
• Bussmann TM26CB Marker Label: This label is suitable for giving fuses some markings or initials for easy identification.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the difference between a fuse block and a fuse holder?

A. A fuse holder serves the sole purpose of mounting or holding a fuse. On the other hand, a fuse block not only keeps the fuses together but also connects them to the wiring systems.

Q. What is the difference between a fuse block and a circuit breaker panel?

A. Fuse blocks use fuses that need to be replaced when they blow, while circuit breaker panels use switches (circuit breakers) that can be reset after they trip.

Q. How can I tell if a fuse in a fuse block has blown?

A. A blown fuse frequently has a clear break in the fuse element, and the fuse's transparent window (if applicable) might look discoloured. You can determine whether a fuse is intact or blown by using multimeters.

Q. What is the difference between a fuse block and a junction box?

A. A fuse block contains fuses or circuit breakers for protecting electrical circuits, while a junction box is used for housing and connecting electrical wires & cables.
