Automotive fuses are typically housed inside one or more fuse boxes (also called an integrated power module (IPM)) within the vehicle, typically on one side of the engine compartment and/or under the dash near the steering wheel. Some fuses or circuit breakers may nonetheless be placed elsewhere, such as near the cabin fan or air bag controller.
In electrical engineering, IEC 60269 is a set of technical standards for low-voltage power fuses. [1] The standard is in four volumes, which describe general requirements, fuses for industrial and commercial applications, fuses for residential applications, and fuses to protect semiconductor devices.
A time-delay fuse (also known as an anti-surge or slow-blow fuse) is designed to allow a current which is above the rated value of the fuse to flow for a short period of time without the fuse blowing. These types of fuse are used on equipment such as motors, which can draw larger than normal currents for up to several seconds while coming up to ...
McGraw-Edison was acquired by Cooper Industries of Texas in 1985. At the time of the take-over, McGraw-Edison had 21,000 employees working in 118 facilities in the United States and other countries. [1] Cooper took over responsibility for the Calhoun County site clean-up, and as of 2004 the remedies were reported to be functioning well. [10]
[2] [3] The company primarily produces circuit protection products but also manufactures a variety of switches, automotive sensors and, through its subsidiary Zilog, microprocessors. [3] [4] Littelfuse was founded in 1927. In addition to its Chicago, Illinois, world headquarters, Littelfuse has more than 40 sales, distribution, manufacturing ...
Proximity fuse MK53 removed from shell, circa 1950s. A proximity fuse (also VT fuse [1] [2] [3] or "variable time fuze") is a fuse that detonates an explosive device automatically when it approaches within a certain distance of its target. Proximity fuses are designed for elusive military targets such as aircraft and missiles, as well as ships ...
It covered 123,000 square feet (11,400 m 2) on 25 acres of land beside the Fox River to the south of Elgin. [7] During World War II (1939–45) the plant was used to make anti-aircraft shells and fuses. [9]
