Fuses

Fuses have been used in electrical circuits since the end of the 19th century. As its name implies, they provide a simple and effective means of protecting electrical systems and circuits from damage caused by power surges or short circuits.

0034.3997 Application Field and Working Principle

0034.3997 fuses offer maximum protection in circuits that require large amounts of current, such as in mining and metallurgical industries. These fuses are designed to work within a specific range of low temperature operating conditions. They have an ability to detect when the amount of current passing through the fuse wire exceeds its designed limit, and when this occurs the fuse element will quickly react and create an open circuit. This interrupts the flow of current and thus provides protection to the system.

The 0034.3997 fuses are made up of two parts: the fuse element and the fuse carrier. The fuse element is composed of a wire with an insulated coating. The wire is selected according to its current and voltage rating. When the rated current is exceeded, the magnetic field created by the excess current will cause the heated wire to expand, eventually breaking the insulation around it which causes the current flow to be interrupted.

The fuse carrier is the actual housing of the fuse. It can be made of glass, metal, or plastic material, and it will contain some form of marking to indicate the rating of the fuse. The fuse carriers also allow for a fusing indicator to be installed, allowing for an easy check of the fuse’s status.

In summary, the 0034.3997 fuses provide effective protection against the damages caused by power surges and short circuits. They also offer an indicator that can inform the user of any problems with the current in the circuit. This makes them a reliable and safe choice for various electrical applications.
