BK/GBB-10 Circuit Protection

Fuses are extremely common electrical components used in a wide range of applications and industries. They act as a protective device, designed to detect an overload of electricity and prevent it from damaging connected components.

The BK/GBB-10 is a commonly used type of fuse, found in a variety of different scenarios. This particular type of fuse is usually designed for DC fusing applications, such as in automotive, marine, and some industrial settings.

In terms of its application field, the BK/GBB-10 type of fuse is commonly found in applications that require up to 10 amperes of DC current. This means that it can be used in applications such as motor starters, alternators, power supplies, battery chargers and DC circuits.

The BK/GBB-10 type of fuse is also designed to be used with circuit protection devices such as fusible links, circuit breakers, and other current limiting devices. This provides additional protection against overloads, making it an ideal choice for many industrial and automotive applications.

In terms of its working principle, the BK/GBB-10 type of fuse contains a small, hollow, glass tube with a metal filament at its center. This filament is designed to heat up when electric current is passed through it, causing it to expand and eventually break. Once the filament breaks, it will interrupt the flow of current, effectively disabling the circuit and preventing it from sustaining any further damage.

One key benefit of the BK/GBB-10 type of fuse is its ability to automatically reset itself when the current is cut off. This effectively eliminates the need to manually reset the fuse after it has been tripped.

Overall, the BK/GBB-10 type of fuse is an invaluable component for many different applications. Its ability to protect connected components from overloads and reset itself make it a very popular choice for a wide range of DC circuits.
