004194216

Electrical Specialty Fuses

Fuses are devices that act as a safety mechanism that protect circuits from high temperatures and short circuits. Electrical specialty fuses that are assigned the item number 004194216 are designed to provide sound protection and include such features as fast-acting, time delay or resettable combinations, incorporation of indicator lights and quenching devices, and a low temperature melting-point capability.

Application Field

The 004194216 is designed for applications requiring a low voltage circuit protection for low voltage power circuits, motor starter circuits, control circuits, lighting, and instrumentation. Given its low voltage capability, it is especially ideal in applications where a standard fuse cannot meet the safety and temperature requirements. It can be used in a range of environments, such as electrical appliances, power distribution, printer motors, computer circuit protection, and vehicle circuit control systems.

Working Principle

The working principle behind the 004194216 is based on the use of a fusible link. This fusible link is composed of a metal alloy which has a predetermined melting-point. When a normal or short circuit condition is present, the resulting heat causes the 004194216 to open up the circuit which it is protecting. This stops the current flow and shuts down the device which it is protecting from any further damage. Additionally, some 004194216 fuses are available in circuit breakers, which also shuts off the current when a fault condition is detected.

In order for an 004194216 fuse to be effective, it must be chosen based on the torque and system operating voltage. Other considerations include the time delay and the current rating. Over voltage and under voltage protection are capabilities for certain types of 004194216 fuses as well. The important factor to remember when selecting a 004194216 fuse is to make sure they are chosen based on the specifications of the application.

Fuses are important elements in many industrial and commercial applications as they provide circuit protection. The 004194216 fuse is an example of one such electrical device with a low voltage capability and excellent protection features. It can be used in a variety of applications where it protects circuits from high temperatures and short circuits, thus providing safety and reliability.
