Fuseholders

Fuseholders come in many shapes and sizes to accommodate various types of fuses. They are designed to be an easy way to connect a semiconductor device or electrical system to a fuse for protection. Fuseholders can provide short-circuit, over-temperature, or excessive current protection. One example of a fuseholder is the 0032.1118 fuseholder. This type of fuseholder is usually used in higher voltage applications and is designed to provide a better connection between the fuse and its equipment.

0032.1118 Application Field and Working Principle

The 0032.1118 fuseholder is a multiple-pole, single-zone form-C type of fuseholder that is designed to provide reliable connection in medium/high voltage distribution applications. It has a mechanical indicator that allows operators to easily identify whether the fuse has blown or not. The fuseholder operates in a range of between 10 to 750 volts and has the ability to operate in temperatures between -40 to 125°C. The fuseholder’s key features include an interlockable form C-type contact, an adjustable fuse contact, and a tested and proven electrical interface.

The working principle of the 0032.1118 fuseholder is relatively simple. When a fuse is inserted into the fuseholder, the plunger action, spring-loaded contacts and mounting screws allow the fuseholder to securely grip the fuse. As current passes through the fuse, it produces a certain amount of heat. Depending on the application and current rating, the fuse will start to heat up and eventually it will reach its melting point. The melting of the fuse causes an interruption of the current flow, thus providing the protection against an overload or short circuit. After the fuse cools down, it can be replaced with a new one.

Conclusion

The 0032.1118 fuseholder is a high-quality electrical component that is designed to provide reliable connections in medium/high voltage distribution applications. It has a mechanical indicator that makes it easy to identify the status of the fuse, and it is able to operate in a wide temperature range between -40 to 125°C. The fuseholder is designed to provide protection against electrical overloads and short circuits, and it can be easily replaced with a new fuse when it is damaged.
