Explore fuses and fuse links for overcurrent protection in electrical distribution, with technical specifications and local stock information at Ideal Electrical NZ.
HRC (high rupturing capacity) fuse links handle higher fault currents and suit distribution boards and switchboards. Cylindrical fuses suit control, instrumentation and general low voltage circuits, while blade fuses suit automotive and low voltage DC applications.
Replace a fuse link with one of the same current rating and breaking capacity as the original. Fitting a higher rated fuse link than the circuit was designed for removes the protection the circuit depends on.
Fuse links are built to specific carrier types and centre-fixing dimensions, including common sizes such as NH2 and NH3. Check your existing fuse carrier or holder before ordering so the replacement seats correctly.
A blown fuse link often means unplanned downtime, so many commercial customers keep common ratings in stock rather than ordering on demand. Contact our team to set up regular supply for critical ratings, or see our earthing and surge and lightning protection ranges for other circuit protection needs.
HRC (high rupturing capacity) fuse links interrupt higher fault currents safely and are used in distribution boards and industrial switchboards. Cylindrical fuses generally suit lower current control and instrumentation circuits; match the fuse type to the application it was specified for.
Check the current rating, voltage rating and physical dimensions marked on the original fuse link or nameplate, and replace like for like. Contact your local branch if the marking is unclear.
Fuse links are made to specific carrier and centre-fixing dimensions, so check compatibility before ordering. See our fuse carrier range to confirm or replace the holder itself.
In some applications, a circuit breaker can replace fuse protection, though this depends on switchboard design and fault levels, so any change should be assessed by a qualified electrician rather than swapped without review. Browse our circuit breaker range if reviewing options for a new installation.
