A time delay fuse will allow for a temporary spike in the current (up to 100 or 200% of the fuse rating), such as when starting a motor. A regular (non-time delay fuse) will not allow for any spike over the current rating of the fuse. If you have a motor that pulls 2 amps while running, but pulls 6 ampls while starting, then you will want to use either a 6 amp non time delay fuse, or a 2 amp time delay fuse.
If you are talking about pyrotechnics, a time delay (properly called a slow burning) fuse will give you more time to run for cover.
What else can I help you with?
What is the function of the time delay Fuse?
The time delay fuse allows a momentary overload due to startup current.
Where do you used a time delay fuse?
we use a time delay fuse at furnace area where heaters are used ect,
What is the difference between a slo-blo fuse and a time delay fuse?
There is no difference. Slo-Blo is just a trademarked name for a time delay fuse.
What is the difference between a fuse and a time delay fuse?
A time delay fuse will not blow at the first sign of an overload. It will delay blowing just long enough to allow a motor to start or a compressor to startup.
Can you use a time delay fuse in your central air conditioner of the same amp rating?
Yes, and you should use a time delay fuse.
What do the letters mdl stand for on a fuse?
Time delay fuse.
Should you use time delay fuse when installing a range?
No, use a standard fuse.
What does T stand for in a fuse labeled T 2A 250V?
time delay
What is a time delay fuse used for?
A standard fuse will blow in just milliseconds when excess current flow or a short is detected. A time delay fuse on the other hand may take 5-10 seconds to blow under the same conditions. You would want to use a time delay fuse in a device that uses lots of current at startup but then uses less after it is started. An electric motor or compressor is an example.
What makes a time delay fuse burn out?
Short in circuit wiring or circuit overloaded.
How to know when a time-delay fuse is old or burn?
Check it with an OHM meter for continuity.
Can time delay house fuse replace an ordinary fuse?
You could, but it would be safest not to. A time delay fuse will allow for a short (12 seconds or less) spike in the current (up to three times the rated current for the fuse). This happens when you start up a motor, or a compressor, etc... If you were to replace a regular fuse (say 2 amp) with a time delay fuse (also 2 amp), then instead of breaking the circuit at 2 amps, the circuit will go 12 seconds at 6 amps before shutting down. This could easily start a fire, so for your safety, it is best to replace a fuse with the exact same kind that came out of it.
