FNM-1/10

Specialty Fuses

FNM-1/10 is a specialty fuse used in applications to protect circuits from short circuits. It has a rated voltage or working voltage of 250V AC and a rated current of 10A. The FNM-1/10 has a rated breaking capacity of 6KA at 250V with a breaking time of up to 5 seconds.

The FNM-1/10 is a non-current-limiting fuse, which means it can tolerate more current before it blows. This makes it suitable for circuits that require a little more protection from overloads. It is often used in air-conditioning and pumps, because these type of applications tend to draw high currents.

The FNM-1/10 fuse comes with a variety of mounting styles. It can be clip, plug, and snap-in mounted. It also has a polycarbonate case material with solderless terminals. This makes it easy to install and replace when necessary.

Working Principle of FNM-1/10

The FNM-1/10 fuse works by using a strip of soft metal, usually lead, which is encapsulated in a glass tube. When the current passes through the fuse, the soft metal melts, causing an open circuit. This then prevents the current from passing through the fuse and thus from going any further.

The FNM-1/10 fuse also has an indicator window which shows the user whether the fuse has blown or not. This makes it easy to identify when replacement is needed. The fuse also has a built-in thermal protector that helps protect the electrical components from over-current surges.

When used correctly, the FNM-1/10 fuse provides an effective and efficient way to protect circuits from over-currents. It is reliable and easy to install, making it a popular choice for many applications.
