| GERMAN FUZES |
| 50 – ELECTRICAL ANTIDISTURBANCE FUZE |
| DATA: |
| Bombs Used in: SC 250 and 500 in conjunction with a type 7 fuze. |
| Color: Green. |
| Material: Aluminum. |
| Possible Actions: Instantaneous, on disturbance of bomb. |
| Arming Time: 3 min. (approx.) |
| Principal Markings: 50. |
| Secondary Markings: None. |
|
DESCRIPTION. This fuze contains only one firing circuit and incorporates a very high resistance to give a long arming time, allowing the bomb to be completely at rest before the fuze arms. The two switches are typical inertia type, only more sensitive than those found in ordinary impact fuzes. They operate on a deceleration of only 1/3 g. |
|
Safety switching is accomplished by depression of the A plunger, which acts as a switch in the ground circuit. Depression of the B plunger will fire the fuze. If the B plunger is found depressed, release of the plunger may also cause the fuze to fire. (See fig. 183.) |
