These fuses are pretty common here.
As are the holders.
GEC HRC fuses are taking over from them though in the higher amperages.
Red-Spot is a trademark of English Electric BTW.
I would have thought that a few of your UK guys would have known that. [Linked Image]
There is one thing that I personally hate about this particular fuse carrier design and it shows that it was designed by a draughtsman, not an Electrician.
That being, try and pull one of them fuses with rubber inners and leather outers on your hands, it's not possible!.
GEC had the good idea of putting a secondary pulling flange on the fuse carrier, in all sizes from 32A upwards.
GEC is the preferred fuse-holder of our PoCo.


{Edit: Under our current Standards here, if you withdraw a fuse, the live contacts shall be shrouded, while the fuse is withdrawn, a few types of fuse-holders here were withdrawn from sale because of that fact.}
