Clinical and Service Value

The 690VAC 100A Square Body High Speed Fuse by GE Healthcare is designed to enhance the reliability and safety of medical imaging systems. Its excellent DC performance and low energy let-through characteristics minimize the risk of damage to sensitive components during overcurrent situations. This is particularly critical in environments where imaging equipment is frequently used, ensuring that systems remain operational and effective in delivering patient care.

Furthermore, the fuse's superior cycling capability allows it to withstand repeated use without degradation, reducing the need for frequent replacements. This not only streamlines maintenance workflows but also contributes to overall operational efficiency. Compliance with IEC and UL standards ensures that the fuse meets current safety regulations, providing peace of mind for procurement teams and biomedical engineers tasked with maintaining high standards in medical equipment safety.

Additional notes

A Fuse is an safety device used to protect an electrical circuit from higher current. It has a strip of wire that melts and breaks an electric circuit when the current exceeds a desired level. Regular fuses are always connected in series with components to be protect from overcurrent, so when the fuse blows (opens) it will open the circuit and stop any current through the components. Regular fuses do not allow for any spike over the current rating of the fuse. This fuse is a high speed square body DIN 43-653 stud mount high speed fuse . High speed fuses are specially designed to minimize the I²t, peak current let-through and arc voltage. Ensuring fast opening and clearing of a fault requires rapid element melting. The part is compliant to IEC and UL standards and it is approved for today’s safety standards. This high sepeed fuse can be used with GE's Optima 540, Lightspeed, Brightspeed, Discovery ST, HiSpeed, Discovery 670, Brivo 385 and Revolution ACT Computed Tomography (CT) Systems.
