Main Fuse Recognition

[olsonn]

Is there anywhere, book on line etc where you can identify the different types of fuses. I have come across a few recently which have no identification numbers on them. The attached is a 100Amp main fuse but there are no other identification numbers on it. I assume it is a BS1361 but i dont know if it is a Type1 or Type11. Can anybody enlighten me as to which it is?. Before those amongst us start screaming about the rights and wrongs of removing the main fuse, this fuse had no seal on it and after a quick photo it was promptly replaced.

The relevant fuse characteristics are printed on the fuse itself, not the carrier.

Although the carrier in the pic is quite old, the fuse inside may not be.

More often than not a cut-out fuse will be a BS1361 type 2 with a breaking capacity of 33KA.
