Fuses
Fuses are components in electrical systems that provide a backup protection by cutting off the power supply in the event of overcurrent, overvoltage, short circuit and grounding current problems, thereby preventing and avoiding costly damage to connected equipment. It is composed of Fuse, Base & Indicator. The 0217010.HXP is a fuse in this category.
0217010.HXP Application Field and Working Principle
The 0217010.HXP is a medium voltage (MV) type fuse element. It is widely used in high-voltage power systems (such as 220KV and 110KV systems) for overvoltage, overcurrent, short circuit and ground fault protection. The 0217010.HXP fuse is composed of an arc horn, body, sealed end and contact cap. It has a rated voltage of 17KV and a rated current of 10A.
When there is an overcurrent and/or short circuit, the rating current of the fuse element is exceeded. Therefore, the heat generated by the arc increases rapidly, melting the fuse element in a matter of milliseconds, thus breaking the circuit and avoiding the risk of damaging the materials or causing fire. The current-carrying capacity of the fuse element can be adjusted to increase or decrease the let-through current, which is suitable for protection against overcurrent in a power system.
The 0217010.HXP also include a fuse indicator, which is connected with the fuse element. When the fuse is blown and no current is flowing through the element, a red indicator in the indicator will light up, giving an indication to the technician that the fuse element needs to be replaced.
The 0217010.HXP fuse has a high withstand voltage tracking ability, good overcurrent cutting performance, excellent fuse breaking characteristics, low power consumption, and long service life. It is an ideal protective product in high voltage power systems and is widely used.
Conclusion
The 0217010.HXP fuse is a medium voltage type fuse element, which is widely used in high-voltage power systems. It has a rated voltage of 17KV and a rated current of 10A, and is composed of an arc horn, body, sealed end and contact cap. It has a high withstand voltage tracking ability, good overcurrent cutting performance, excellent fuse breaking characteristics, low power consumption, and long service life. The 0217010.HXP also contains a fuse indicator, which can alert technicians to the need to replace the fuse element.
