LAWSON BS1361 Type C Consumer Unit Fuse - 20A

The LAWSON BS1361 Type C Consumer Unit Fuse is an essential electrical safety component designed to protect circuits from overcurrent and short-circuit faults. As part of the LAWSON L Series, it meets the rigorous British Standard BS1361 for high-performance cartridge fuses used in consumer units and distribution boards. This fuse offers reliable and predictable operation, ensuring the safety of both property and personnel by interrupting excessive current flow before it can cause damage to wiring or connected appliances.

Manufactured to exacting standards, this fuse features a ceramic body for superior thermal and mechanical stability. Its compact design allows for efficient use of space within consumer unit enclosures. The key to its protective function is its time-current characteristic; the BS1361 Type C designation indicates a specific performance curve that provides a higher level of protection against inrush currents compared to standard types, making it ideal for circuits with inductive loads like motors or transformers. This helps prevent nuisance tripping while maintaining robust fault protection.

The product boasts a high breaking capacity, enabling it to safely interrupt significant fault currents. This ensures reliable performance even under extreme electrical fault conditions. Designed for ease of installation by qualified electricians, it provides a critical layer of safety in domestic, commercial, and industrial electrical installations. Its durable construction and consistent performance make it a trusted choice for maintaining circuit integrity and compliance with wiring regulations.
