| 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: 5 min. (approx.) |
| Principal Markings: El.Z. (50). |
| Secondary Markings: AA 1940 cpp 1941. |
|
DESCRIPTION. This fuze is similar to the 50, but incorporates two firing circuits. The B plunger charges two reservoir condensers, each of which is capable of firing the single igniter bridge through its own sensitive switch. The switches are similar to the vibratory type found in the 50 fuze, operating on 1/3-g deceleration. |
|
The A plunger acts as a switch in the ground circuit, while depression of the B plunger will fire the fuze. (See fig. 184.) |
|
The resistance in this fuze has been increased, giving a longer arming time (about 5 mi-nutes) than is found in the 50 fuze. |
