Fuses

Fuses are used to provide protection against overcurrent and short circuit conditions on electrical distribution systems. In some areas, they are also used to provide secondary protection against landslips, fires and other natural disasters. A type of fuse that is commonly used is the 0216.160TXP fuse.

0216.160TXP Application Field

The 0216.160TXP series fuses are most commonly used in residential, commercial and industrial applications to protect branch circuits, parallel feeders, motor control centers, and other circuits requiring overcurrent protection. They are available in UL508 or UL2556 ratings, have1-2/10 HP ratings, and are designed for use with various wiring systems. Additionally, the 0216.160TXP has a short circuit current rating of 10 kA.

0216.160TXP Working Principle

The 0216.160TXP fuse works by disconnecting the circuit, when it detects an abnormal current flow. It does this by melting an internal element, which effectively opens the circuit and prevents further damage to the conductors. This element is commonly made of a special alloy, which melts when the current exceeds the fuse’s rating. When the current is returned to its normal pull, the element returns to its solid state, allowing the circuit to be reconnected. To resist high temperature, the 0216.160TXP is often filled with gas, sand, or various combustible materials.

How It Works

When an abnormal current flow is detected by the fuse, the current passes through a heat sensitive resistor in the element. The heat generated by the resistor melts the element, which in turn disrupts the circuit. As the current returns to normal, the fuse element becomes solid once again, and the circuit is restored. This process of melting and solidifying the element is known as "fusing". Once the element has melted, it must be replaced with a new one.

Conclusion

The 0216.160TXP fuse is a common type of fuse used in various residential, commercial and industrial applications. It works by melting an internal element when it detects an abnormal current flow, thereby protecting the circuit from further damage. Through its quick and efficient operation, the 0216.160TXP provides an effective form of overcurrent and short circuit protection.
