Would you trust this fuse holder?

Post by floydmeddler » Tue Nov 07, 2017 7:06 pm

Hey folks,

I'm still gathering bits for my single vessel brewery with RIMS and would like to up the safety by fusing the element. Would you trust this fuse holder for a 15a immersion heating element? I'm not so sure...

If you have any suggestions for a better option, i'd love a link! Need to be able to either attach it to the project box or simply have it installed within the box itself. Whatever is cheapest!

Cheers

Defiantly not,especially not on mains voltage.The thread on the cap is rather long so a good chance of garbing the shiny bit when you unscrew it .http://cpc.farnell.com/multicomp/ppfh-4 ... dp/FF02303 would be my cheap starting point

How about an MCB if you'll have a fixed panel?

Cheers folks. Went for the 'inline' type as it seems most simple.
