fused switch and switch fuse

fused switch and switch fuse

(OP)
when and why using switch fuse and fused switch and what is the different between them?

RE: fused switch and switch fuse

2
Switch-fuse
A switch in which one or more poles have a fuse in series in a composite unit

Fuse-switch
A switch in which a fuse link, or a fuse carrier with fuse link, forms the moving contact

The former is more expensive and more robust, and usually has better switching capability. The latter is cheap and compact.

RE: fused switch and switch fuse

hmmmmm, not in the USA. Haven't seen come across above defintions.

In fact fused switch is routinely used to describe a fusible switch in the USA, and fuse link is a known as "fuse link ".

There may be a definintion somewhere, but I mentioned what is the normally found in consulting engineeers business here.
