Fusing Current Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Fusing Current (If) is:

\[ \text{If} = \text{FF} \times \text{CR} \]

Where:

\( \text{If} \) is the Fusing Current (amps)
\( \text{FF} \) is the fusing factor
\( \text{CR} \) is the current rating of the fusing element (amps)

What is Fusing Current?

Fusing current is the amount of current required to melt a fuse element, thereby interrupting the circuit. It is calculated by multiplying the fusing factor by the current rating of the fusing element.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Fusing Factor (FF) = 1.5
Current Rating of Fusing Element (CR) = 10 amps

Using the formula to calculate the Fusing Current:

\[ \text{If} = 1.5 \times 10 = 15 \text{ amps} \]

The Fusing Current is 15 amps.
