Fuses are an electrical safety device built around a conductive strip that is designed to melt and separate in the event of excessive current.

A wide variety of different types of fuses are used throughout industry. It’s important for industrial maintenance technicians to learn how to operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair multiple types of fuses.

DAC Worldwide’s Fuse Sample Board (816-PAC) is an introductory hands-on teaching aid, designed to supplement courses in fuse selection and maintenance. It includes samples of twelve (12) industrial-quality fuses for users to learn to identify. The 816-PAC includes:

• #816 - Fuse Sample Board
• #945 - Sample Panel Support Assembly

To help learners with fuse identification, the steel, rack-mounted identification board features magnetic identification tags relating to the fuse samples supplied, allowing association of a tag with the appropriate component by learners. The sample board can be used on any standard 19-inch rack or the optional DAC Worldwide Sample Panel Support Assembly.

Industry-Standard Components Provide Realistic, Hands-On Training

Technical training is most effective when learners can gain hands-on practice with industry-standard components they’ll encounter on the job. The Fuse Sample Board features several common, industrial-quality fuses to provide learners with a realistic training experience that will build skills that translate easily to the workplace.

The Fuse Sample Board features a powder-coated, silk-screened, 14-gauge steel panel for mounting the included fuse samples. It also includes pre-assembled PVC mounting posts.

Learners will find samples of the following twelve (12) industrial-quality fuses on the panel, including a variety of designs. The board also includes 14 engraved, magnetic fuse identification tags with both the common informal name and the formal industry name for each fuse.

Courseware & Options

The Fuse Sample Board’s courseware consists of an instructor resource and set-up reference. These can be used as part of either an instructor-led course or self-directed study. An optional IPT Industrial Trades Training Manual and Handbook are also available for those who wish to extend their training options.
