With regard to a new DB I have been asked if it is fitted with TUV or TXU fuses
What is/are the difference between the two? Thanks |

No I am not too sure either.
A TXU fuse could be referring to the class of fuse, its rating and bolt pattern etc, but I haven't come across a TUV class fuse. On the other hand TUV could be referring to the German standards organisation, but I haven't come across a TXU standard. We will both be waiting for a more learned response.... Kind regards Donald Lane |

TXU appears to be prefix to Alstom Redspot fuses - It's not clear whether TUV relates to as stated the German standard or another.

I think you are on the right lines with the bolt pattern Donald.
TXU = 00 TUV= 0 0 0= Mounting bolt hole on either end of fuse I think!! |

It can happen on the odd occasion!!
I have come across fuses stamped up TXU that have a double bolt fixing at each end rated 1000A and above. I haven't seen a fuse stamped as TUV, although have seen some references now from a google search so it may be a designation for a foreign country to me. Can you not just supply the specification of the incoming fuse to the client to answer their question? Kind regards Donald Lane |
