0034.6041

Fuses are an electrical component whose primary purpose is to provide an overcurrent protection. The 0034.6041 is a type of standard fuse commonly used in many circuits. It is designed to provide an overload and short circuit protection in circuits with current up to 30A.

Application Field

The 0034.6041 fuse is primarily designed for high-power circuits. It is commonly found in electric motors, HVAC systems, large appliances, and high-wattage lighting circuits. It can also be used in light commercial and industrial applications that require high continuous load. Additionally, it is compatible with electrical devices that use AC voltages of up 500V.

Working Principle

The basic principle of operation for the 0034.6041 fuse is that it allows current to flow at a specified level, and then opens if the current exceeds the specified limit. This action serves to protect the circuit by minimizing the risks from overcurrents and short circuits. The fuse is made of a heater element which is connected in series with the circuit. When the current in the circuit exceeds the rated current of the heater element, it gets heated to a temperature that causes the fusible element to melt, thus opening the circuit and protecting the equipment from damage.

The 0034.6041 is a standard ‘slow-blow’ type of fuse which means that it can handle short-duration, higher current load without tripping out. This makes it suitable for circuits that are subject to motor start-up surges or other short-duration high current loads. The fuses are available in both white and black thermoplastic housings, with interchangeable x-rated fuses.

Conclusion

The 0034.6041 could be an ideal choice for those applications where a high continuous load or resistance to surges is required. It provides a reliable and cost-effective way to protect expensive equipment from damaging overcurrents and short circuits. It is also compatible with a variety of AC and DC voltages, making it an easy to install and versatile option for many applications.
