BK/GLQ-10

BK/GLQ-10 are a type of electrical specialty fuses used in higher voltage applications. They are typically used on lines rated over 12 kV AC and 6 kV DC. These fuses typically contain ceramic or porcelain body with copper blades inside to hold the fuse element. Fuse elements can be either annealed or brazed copper, or an alloy of copper and zinc. BK/GLQ-10 fuses are well protected against moisture and dust, thanks to their tight structure and secure screw-on base.

The main purpose of the BK/GLQ-10 application field and working principle is to protect electrical appliances from short circuits, overloads, and other faults – such as power surges. When an electrical fault occurs, the current passing through the circuit is higher than what the electrical system is designed to handle. This increases the temperature of the conductive material inside the fuse, causing it to melt or "blow" open. This disconnects the circuit and restores normal conditions. Fuse blow time will vary depending on the current ratings and material of the fuse.

BK/GLQ-10 provide many advantages over other types of fuses. Unlike cartridge or plug fuses, the BK/GLQ-10 are not likely to arc or spark when they blow. This makes them a safer choice for high-voltage applications. Additionally, the body of these fuses is very strong, and they hold up well in extreme temperatures. They can also be used in either series or parallel configurations, so they are versatile and can be used in a wide range of electrical applications.

BK/GLQ-10 are also relatively easy to install. They can usually be connected by screw terminals, allowing the user to easily install or replace the fuses. Simply unscrew the current fuse, attach the new fuse, and close the connection. This makes these fuses a great choice for DIY projects and electrical maintenance.

In conclusion, BK/GLQ-10 fuses offer a number of benefits and are ideal for higher voltage applications. They can protect electrical systems from short circuits, overloads, and power surges, and are easy to install. They can also withstand extreme temperatures and are well-protected against dust and moisture. With the right amount of care, BK/GLQ-10 fuses can last for many years.
