HRC-High Rupturing Capacity fuse rating

What are HRC Fuses?

A High Rupturing Capacity (HRC) fuse is a type of fuse designed to safely interrupt and clear very high short-circuit currents without exploding or damaging the surrounding electrical equipment.

Key Characteristics and Construction

• High Breaking Capacity: This is the defining feature of an HRC fuse. It can safely interrupt fault currents that are many times (e.g., 80 kA or more) its normal rated current.
• Construction: The fuse element (typically made of silver or copper) is enclosed within a heat-resistant body, often made of ceramic or fiberglass
• Authorized Distributors: For specific, high-end brands like Siemens, ABB, or Bussmann, it is best to contact their authorized distributors in Bangladesh.

Estimated Price in Bangladesh (Dhaka):

The price of an HRC fuse varies widely based on its brand, current rating (amperage), and whether it comes with a base.
