Fuses - Protecting Your Electrical System

Narrow Your Results By

Fuses are protective devices used in electrical circuits to prevent damage from excess current. They act as safety mechanisms that "blow" or break the circuit when the current flowing through it exceeds a certain threshold. By doing so, they prevent overheating, fires, or permanent damage to electrical components.

At Control Design Supply, we offer a wide range of high-quality fuses designed to protect your electrical systems from overloads and short circuits. Whether you're working on automotive systems, industrial machinery, or household applications, we have the right fuse for your needs. Explore our four main categories of fuses below or contact us to find the perfect protection for your project.

Automotive Fuses

Automotive fuses are designed specifically for use in cars, trucks, and other vehicles to protect the electrical circuits. These fuses are essential for preventing damage from power surges or faults in automotive systems.

Common Applications: Used in cars, trucks, and RVs to protect everything from lights and radios to more critical components like the engine and battery.
Key Features: Compact, reliable, and easy to replace. Available in blade, mini, and micro sizes to fit a wide variety of vehicles.

Automotive fuses come in different amperages and sizes to meet the varying needs of modern vehicles. If you're looking for a quick, reliable solution for automotive protection, our range of automotive fuses offers durable, easy-to-install options for all types of vehicles.

Resettable Fuses

Resettable fuses, also known as PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) fuses, provide overcurrent protection and automatically reset after a fault is cleared. These fuses are perfect for applications where you need protection that can recover once the fault condition is removed.

Common Applications: Ideal for use in low-voltage electronics, consumer devices, and power supplies.
Key Features: Automatically resets once the overcurrent condition is resolved, providing ongoing protection without the need for replacement.

Resettable fuses are ideal for use in applications where downtime is costly, as they eliminate the need for manual fuse replacement, offering convenience and continuous protection.

Cartridge Fuses

Cartridge fuses are widely used in both residential and industrial applications. These fuses have a cylindrical shape and are commonly found in electrical panels, industrial machines, and home appliances. They provide superior protection for circuits by breaking the connection if excessive current is detected.

Common Applications: Often used in industrial equipment, motor circuits, HVAC systems, and appliances.
Key Features: Available in a variety of voltage ratings and sizes to suit different applications, from small household appliances to heavy-duty industrial machinery.

Our cartridge fuses offer high-quality protection and reliability, ensuring the safety of your electrical systems and helping to prevent costly damage to equipment.

Industrial Fuses

Industrial fuses are heavy-duty fuses designed to protect large, high-voltage circuits found in industrial environments. These fuses are built to withstand the rigors of demanding applications where high currents and electrical faults are common.

Common Applications: Used in manufacturing equipment, power distribution systems, motor controls, and other high-power industrial machinery.
Key Features: High current ratings, robust construction, and designed to handle the demanding nature of industrial power systems.

Industrial fuses provide the highest level of protection for large-scale electrical equipment, ensuring that your machinery and systems run safely and efficiently.
