    The DIAZED fuse, developed by Siemens, combined non-interchangeability through diameter gradings and a two-part design of an insert head and exchangeable cartridge. Laboratory and field tests demonstrated its superiority, and it was nominated as the best fuse design. Its attractive design and color-coded indicators for easy monitoring contributed to its overwhelming success. A comparative study found DIAZED fuses provided the most reliable protection of electrical installations. As a result, Siemens became a leader in continued fuse development.

    The result of the development work carried out by Siemens

    was launched under the brand DIAZED (Fig. 2.3), a name


    that combines the product‘s two key characteristics:
    • Non-interchangeability by means of diameter gradings
    (diametral) Fuse
    • Z from the German term “zweiteilige Ausführung” – or two- intact – tripped
    part design of the Edison insert, comprising an insert head
    and an exchangeable cartridge.

    In many respects, the DIAZED concept was groundbreaking.


    Further laboratory and operational tests demonstrated its
    superiority so convincingly that, during its general assembly
    on June 8, 1909, the “Vereinigung der Elektrizitätswerke”
    nominated two-piece cartridge screw-type inserts as “the
    best design” .7)

    On top of this, many were impressed by the highly attractive Fig. 2.4 – Practical and visually
    design of the DIAZED fuse and the associated distribution appealing: DIAZED 1907
    boards (Fig. 2.4) 8) .
    Source: Wright, Newberry “Electric
    A crucial factor in the overwhelming success of Siemens Fuses”
    DIAZED fuses was a comparative study into the switching
    behavior of different fuse systems, which was conducted by the “Vereinigung der
    Elektrizitätswerke”. In 1909, the test results and the operational experience gained since the
    fuse system was launched saw these two-piece, screw-type inserts for 500 V with indicator
    recognized as the best fuse system on the market 4).

    As a result, Siemens assumed a leading role in the continued development of fuse systems
    designed to provide reliable protection for electrical installations.

    That the DIAZED system received such an overwhelmingly positive response from electricity
    plants is no surprise when one considers its technical features, which not only helped it
    reach a global market but can also be found in many of today‘s successor products:

    • Pressure-resistant porcelain body for high switching


    capacity
    • Non-interchangeability by means of diameter grading
    • Easy-to-read, reliable indicator
    • Color coding
    • Selectivity

    To make it easier to monitor installations, the adapter


    sleeves and indicator were color coded. This color coding
    was based on the stamps that were in circulation at that
    time, which meant that everybody was already familiar Fig. 2.5 – Easy-to-remember
    with which colors were associated with which values colors
    (Fig. 2.5).

    In 1927, the N-DIAZED system was developed. A more compact DIAZED design for currents
    of up to 25 A and a line supply voltage of 500 V, it required fewer materials to manufacture
    and less space in meter boards and small distribution boards. A smaller Edison thread (E 16)
    and ceramic adapter rings with an external thread (E 16) were introduced for this new
