Semiconductor fuses are used to prevent large semiconductor devices (IGBTs, GTOs, diodes etc) from rapturing and causing secondary damages to the rest of the system and people in the event of a short circuit. They are usually not intended to prevent the semiconductor device from failing.

What is the differdence between gsa and gsg semiconductor fuse of ge make?

The GSA (General Semiconductor Association) and GSG (General Semiconductor Group) fuses from GE differ primarily in their design and application specifications. GSA fuses are typically used for general-purpose applications, offering higher interrupting ratings and broader voltage ratings. In contrast, GSG fuses are designed for specific industrial applications, focusing on enhanced performance in circuits with higher inrush currents. Each type is optimized for particular operational environments and safety standards.


What is difference between semiconductor and HRC fuse?

semiconductor fuse is used to save the diodes ,thyristers and IGBTS because the below time is very fast in the case of any short circuit and over current, HRC fuse is mostly used in the power factors panels and its below time is less then semiconducter fuses.
