BK/GMA-7-R

Fuses are important components of any electrical system. BK/GMA-7-R fused disconnects are essential devices that protect electrical equipment and personnel from electrical shock and fire hazards. They are equipped with a fuse and a hard-contact rated 7 amperes, 10 amperes, 15 amperes, or 30 amperes.

The BK/GMA-7-R is a fuse-type disconnect, designed to prevent possible arcs which could cause electrical shock or start a fire. The device has various terminals with a maximum voltage rating of 600 V and a current rating of up to 30 amperes. The fuse must be sized according to the maximum current used in the circuit destination.

The fuse on the BK/GMA-7-R is designed to activate, or trip, when the current draw at the circuit destination surpasses the fuse rating. When the wattage exceeds the device’s maximum rating, the fuse melts inside the disconnect box and breaks the circuit, reducing the risk of potential electrical arcs or shocks.

The BK/GMA-7-R also features a physical disconnect switch for additional safety. This switch is designed so that when the fuse trips it also disconnects the power before a potential arc can be generated. This switch should be in the “on” position before any electrical work can take place, and the power should not be reconnected until the fuse has been replaced.

In summary, the BK/GMA-7-R is a fused disconnect that provides safety and protection from electrical hazards. Its fuse rating determines how much power can be directed to a circuit before the device trips, breaking the circuit and preventing possible arcs and shocks. BK/GMA-7-R fused disconnects are an important addition to any electrical system.
