BK/GBB-1-1/4-R

Fuses are a type of safety device used in electrical applications to protect circuits from overloads or short circuits and to limit the amount of current that can travel through the circuit. The BK/GBB-1-1/4-R fuse is a high-speed, five-amp fuse commonly used in a variety of applications, such as automotive, industrial, and telecommunications. The fuse is designed to allow normal current and to safely interrupt the circuit in the event of an overload or short circuit.

The BK/GBB-1-1/4-R fuse is a low voltage fuse made of a ferrule, terminals, and a cylindrical center containing the fuse element. The fuse element is a simple cylindrical wire inside the fuse that will melt when an excessive current is applied. As current passes through the wire, it heats up until it melts, interrupting the flow of current. When the fault has been corrected, the fuse must be replaced before the circuit can be reenergized.

The BK/GBB-1-1/4-R fuse is typically used as a back-up protection for circuits that have their own dedicated overcurrent protection devices, such as circuit breakers and fuses. The purpose of the fuse is to minimize system downtime due to overcurrent events and to protect electrical components and circuitry from damage. Since this type of fuse has a five-amp rating, it is suitable for applications where the predicted current is less than five amps and the short circuit current is less than 14 amps.

The working principle of BK/GBB-1-1/4-R fuse is the same as all other types of fuses: When the current being drawn from the circuit exceeds the fuse rating, the fuse wire will heat up and melt. This will disrupt the circuit, preventing further damage to it. Once the excessive current disappears, the melted fuse must be replaced before the circuit can be reenergized.

Since the BK/GBB-1-1/4-R fuse is designed for use in a variety of applications, it can be used anywhere that requires overcurrent protection and where the current draw is less than five amps. This type of fuse is commonly used in automobiles, industrial equipment, telecommunications, and electrical power systems. In automotive applications, it is often used to protect the alternator and other components against overcurrents.

In summary, the BK/GBB-1-1/4-R fuse is a high-speed, five-amp fuse commonly used in a variety of applications, such as automotive, industrial, and telecommunications. The fuse is designed to allow normal current and to safely interrupt the circuit in the event of an overload or short circuit. The fuse works when the current draw surpasses the fuse rating, heating up the fuse wire and melting it, thus disrupting the circuit and protecting it from further damage.
