80001/816

Fuseholders offer secure, ergonomic insertion and removal of fuses. Fuseholders are constructed of robust materials to ensure reliable insertion and removal of fuses. 8001/816 applications and working principles are fairly straightforward.

The 8001/816 fuseholder is a two-pole, single-holder-type device. It is designed to securely hold one midget fuse of 8 x 1/2 inches. It has two dual-intensity operating springs, one for each pole, which allow the fuseholder to easily grip and release fuses. The fuseholder is also designed to be used in quick-break applications, such as residential and small commercial applications.

Insertion: Inserting the 8001/816 fuse into the holder is a simple process. First, the fuseholder is removed from the base. The springs on the inside of the fuseholder then compress, allowing the fuse to slide in. Once the fuse is completely inserted, the springs snap back into place, securely fastening the fuse to the holder.

Removal: To remove the fuse from the holder, the user must firmly grasp the sides of the holder. This releases the tension of the springs, allowing the fuse to be easily removed from the holder.

Ordering: The 8001/816 fuseholder can be ordered with an 8 AWG DC fuse, or with a 1-1/2 foot wire lead. In addition, the holder can be ordered with a 3/8 inch ring terminal, or with a prewired red/black set screw terminal block. The wiring must be rated to correspond to the amperage rating of the fuse.

Installing: Installing the 8001/816 fuse holder is a relatively simple process. The mounting screw should be slightly larger than the hole size for the mounting screw to ensure it is properly secured. An electricians screwdriver should be used to secure the fuseholder in place. Once the fuseholder is securely attached, it should be tested by using a continuity tester to ensure the device is properly functioning.

Overall, 8001/816 applications and working principles are straightforward. Its two-pole, single-holder-type construction allows users to easily insert and remove fuses, making it ideal for midget fuse installs in residential and small commercial applications. Additionally, the holder can be ordered with wired or unwired terminations, making it versatile in different application scenarios.
