BK/AGC-3/16-R

Fuses are a key safety feature in electrical systems, providing a preemptive defense against overloading, short-circuiting and other dangerous conditions. In many applications requiring low-voltage components, the BK/AGC-3/16-R fuse is a particularly effective solution.

The BK/AGC-3/16-R is a fast-acting, fast-break fuse with silver-plated contacts. The industry-leading design ensures reliable performance with superior protection, even in the most challenging applications. The fuse is widely used in a variety of instruments, switchgear, and type-tested circuit breakers (TTBs).

The BK/AGC-3/16-R utilizes a clip-and-hold technology to hold the fuse element in place. In this design, the fuse element is moved by the force of the magnetic field of the clips when energized. When the energized circuit becomes overloaded, the overload current creates a greater magnetic field, pulling the fuse element away from its contact. This causes the current to be shut off instantly, protecting the circuit.

The BK/AGC-3/16-R has a wide range of applications across residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Within residential settings, the fuse is commonly used in standard circuit protection applications such as kitchen circuits and lights, laundry circuits, and lighting circuits. Similarly, in industrial environments, it is frequently used to protect heater circuits, motor circuits, and emergency circuits. The fuse is also an ideal option for protection of medium-voltage motors and apparatus in commercial settings.

The BK/AGC-3/16-R is available in standard and custom sizes and complies with UL and CSA standards. In addition, the fuse is rated for voltage up to 200A and is equipped with a low-fault current rating and high interruption capacity, enabling it to withstand extreme current loads in the event of a fault. This ensures that the fuse can respond quickly and efficiently to protect the system from further damage.

To conclude, the BK/AGC-3/16-R fuse is an effective solution for low-voltage systems where superior protection is required. Its superior protection capabilities, combined with its wide range of applications, make it a great choice for a wide variety of applications in residential, commercial, and industrial environments.
