What does 2AG mean on a fuse?

The 2AG or 5 x 15mm, cartridge, fuse is a glass miniature fuse, having a diameter of 5mm and a length of 15mm. The 2AG fuse is designed to offer similar electrical characteristics as a 3AG, cartridge fuse in 1/3 of the PC Board space.

What are 3AG fuses?

The 3AG cartridge, fuses are miniature glass electronic fuses. The 3AG fuse dimensions are a diameter of 1/4 inch and a length of 1-1/4 inches and are very common in North America. The 3AG designation stands for automotive glass and reflects its original design as an automotive fuse back in the 1930’s.

How do you read a fuse number?

Note: Many small cartridge fuses will have additional markings stamped on the end caps. These are usually either; a series number, a part number, or product approval markings (refer table 3 below)….Fuse Markings.

Marking	Fuse Element Speed
M	Medium Acting (Mitteltrage)
T	Slow Acting (Trage)
TT	Very Slow Acting (Trage Trage)

What is a 250 volt fuse?

What is a 250 Volt Semiconductor Fuse,? Semiconductor Fuses are also known as High Speed, Fuses or Rectifier, Fuses. The 250 volt semiconductor fuse is a current limiting, very fast-acting, fuse rated to 250 volts AC and up to 250 volts DC. Current ratings range from 1 to 2,500 amps.

What are standard fuse sizes?

NEC® Motor Circuit Protection Requirements Standard sizes for fuses and fixed trip circuit breakers, per 240.6, are 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 600, 700, 800, 1000, 1200, 1600, 2000, 2500, 3000, 4000 5000, and 6000 amps.

What do the letters mean on fuses?

The number and the A (may be mA) is the amp rating of the fuse. The L denotes that it is a low breaking capacity or glass fuse (H is High breaking capacity and is usually a ceramic package).

How many amps is a 3AG fuse?

3AG 1-R

Type	Description

What does AGC stand for on a fuse?

all glass
Datasheet. Originally stood for “all glass.” The automotive industry uses the “AG” prefix (AGC, AGW) for most glass fuses. They vary in length, diameter and amperage rating.

How do I know what type of fuse I have?

Small fuses generally identify the element speed using markings such as F, M, T etc, whilst larger fuses identify the element speed using markings such as gL, gG, aM etc. Some fuses use terms such as slow acting, fast acting, motor rated etc.

Are all fuses 250V?

Fuses are rated in amps. Most fuses for household items are 250V. We are told that we can use 250V fuses of the same amperage rating for our nominal 120V circuits. Thus, if I need a 5 amp fuse for an amplifier I get a 250V 5 amp fuse.

How do I know which fuse to use?

The simple calculation is watts divided by volts equals amps. After you have calculated this, it is a simple case of adding around 10% to the value and choosing the nearest fuse to match.

What is a 3AB fuse?

3AB Cartridge Fuse The 3AB fuse is designed with a ceramic body which can tolerate higher temperatures and offers higher interrupting and voltage, ratings than the 3AG, fuse. 3AB ratings are typically provided at both 125 and 250 volts AC. Fuses rated up to 1000 volts are available.

What size is an AGC fuse?

3AG size, type AGC, 0.125 A to 50 A, 1/4 inch diameter (6.3mm) by 1 1⁄4 inch (31.8mm) long.

What size are AGC fuses?

Eaton’s AGC fast-acting, glass tube 1/4″ x 1-1/4″ ferrule fuses are designed to UL 248-14 for overcurrent protection of electronic circuits.
