0034.5715.11

A Fuse is an electrical device used to protect circuitry and components from short-circuit or overload conditions. They are a simple, cost-effective solution for eliminating the potential of costly damage caused by such occurrences. The 0034.5715.11 Fuse is no different, functioning as a one-time, non-servicable device designed to withstand currents up to 1,000V DC. Its application field is mainly found in automotive and non-automotive applications.

The 0034.5715.11 Fuse operates on the principle of thermally-sensitive, overload protection. This is achieved by a piece of metal, called a fusible element, installed inside the fuse body. The fusible element is connected in series with the protected circuit and therefore, when excessive current flows through it, it heats up and melts, forming an open circuit. The energy dissipated by the current-carrying metal is absorbed by the thermal mass of the other components in the fuse body, effectively opening the circuit and breaking the flow of current. In this way, the excess energy captured is dissipated without causing damage to the circuit.

Fuses come in various sizes and ratings, and the 0034.5715.11 model is no exception. It is rated to withstand currents of 1,000 V DC and is designed for automotive and non-automotive applications. The rated current can be increased or decreased depending on the application. For example, a higher rated current can be used in applications where higher currents are expected, while a lower rated current can be used in applications where lower currents are accepted. It is important to note, however, that a higher rated current can result in faster fuse failure should an overload occur.

In automotive applications, the 0034.5715.11 Fuse is typically used in engines, lights, airbags, ABS, and other electronic components. In non-automotive applications, such as industrial and medical, the fuse can be used to protect machines, sensors, and other electrical equipment, such as those found in refrigeration, heating, and air conditioning systems. It is also used in water treatment plants and water handling systems.

When it comes to maintenance and repair, the 0034.5715.11 Fuse is not serviceable and should be replaced in case of a fault or malfunction. Although the fuse is designed to perform under heavy current loads, it is still important to ensure that it is not overloaded. This means that the fuse should be checked regularly and replaced if necessary. Ultimately, the 0034.5715.11 Fuse is a cost-effective solution for protecting heavy-load circuits from electrical surges or overloads, and is an integral part of any circuit that is intended to function reliably.
