Fuses

Fuses are special devices designed to disconnect a circuit when the current through it exceeds a predetermined value. They have been around for many years in the form of small glass or ceramic tubes mounted in a fusible link.

The 0034.3418 type fuse is part of the family of fuse products from Cooper, the world’s leading manufacturer of electrical protection devices and components. These fuses have been designed to protect equipment from overcurrents and short-circuits, as well as arcs and surges.

0034.3418 Application Field and Working Principle

The 0034.3418 fuse is ideally suited for many low voltage and padmount equipment applications. This type of fuse is available in both bolt-on and cap-and-din styles. The bolt-on version has a body and cover that fit into a flange-mountable adapter; the cap-and-din version has a body and cover that fit into a din-rail- or stud-mounted adapter.

The 0034.3418 fuse is designed to actuate quickly when it is exposed to an overcurrent. This action protects the equipment from damage due to excess current. The fuse will blow when the current exceeds the rated current level of the fuse. When the fuse has blown, the current is no longer able to pass through the fuse. The contact points in the fuse link will remain open until the fuse is replaced.

The 0034.3418 fuse is available in a variety of amperage ratings and can be easily adapted to specific applications. The fuse can be supplied in standard UL or CSA ratings. The 0034.3418 also offers a number of other features such as crimpable wiring, a temperature gauge for quick fault detection, a quick-connect system, and dual indentation for added safety.

Advantages of the 0034.3418 Fuse

The 0034.3418 fuse offers a number of advantages for users. One of the major advantages of this type of fuse is that it is very reliable and efficient. The 0034.3418 features a silver-plated contact system and is designed to react quickly in the event of an overcurrent. Additionally, the fuse is very easy to install. The bolt-on or cap-and-din versions allow for a simple and secure installation.

Another advantage of the 0034.3418 is its ability to protect against surges. The fuse has a high-quality construction and is designed to limit the amount of damage caused by transient overcurrents.

Finally, the 0034.3418 is extremely cost-effective. Not only is the unit relatively inexpensive, but it also provides excellent value for money by offering superior protection at an affordable price.

Conclusion

The 0034.3418 type fuse is a reliable and efficient piece of equipment designed to protect sensitive electronic and low-voltage applications from overcurrents and short-circuits. It offers a number of advantages including fast reaction time, easy installation, protection against surges, and cost-effectiveness. The 0034.3418 is an excellent choice for users looking for a reliable and cost-effective protection device.
