Fuse Link
Replaceable fuse element for installed fuse base positions
Product Overview
The fuse link is the part that actually operates. It carries normal load current indefinitely and melts when fault current arrives, and its rating has to match both the protection study for the position and the base it sits in. Ordering links against the original base reference is the practical way to stop the wrong element ending up in a carrier three years after commissioning.

Compared With Other Options
| Fuse base | The base stays installed. The link is the consumable that operates and gets replaced. |
|---|---|
| Drop out fuse | A drop out fuse is the pole-mounted medium voltage device that visibly drops open. A fuse link here is the low voltage element inside a base. |
Use Guide
- Verify the link rating against the protection study, not against what is in the van
- Check the link matches the base type before fitting
- Keep a record of ratings installed at each position
- Hold a spares stock proportional to the distance from the store
