0157.062DR Circuit Protection

Fuses are devices that can be used to protect electronic circuits and systems from excessive current. The 0157.062DR is a type of fuse that is used in field applications and has a specific working principle.

The 0157.062DR is a cylindrical fuse type that has a total diameter of 11/16 of an inch and a length of 1/2 of an inch. It has a standard voltage rating of 600 volts and a tolerance of +-10%. It can handle a maximum of 20 Amperes of current.

The 0157.062DR fuse is designed to be used in the field application. This includes use in automobiles, boats, audio systems, and other electrical and electronic circuit applications. The fuse can be used in hostile environments like extreme temperatures, high humidity, high shock situation etc.

The working principle of a fuse is based on the principles of resistive heating. When excessive current passes through the fuse, it is converted into heat. This heat energy is absorbed by the fuse and when it reaches the maximum limit, the fuse will break down and fail. This prevents the current from flowing further and protects the rest of the electrical and electronic systems in the device.

In the 0157.062DR type of fuse, the inner core of the fuse is made out of a copper wire with a resistance of 0.067 ohms. This implies that the maximum current rating of the 0157.062DR is 20 Amperes. When currents higher than this rating pass through the fuse, it will be converted into heat which will be absorbed into the fuse and when it reaches the breaking point or its specified rating, it will break down and fail, protecting other electronic systems.

The 0157.062DR fuse is used in various field applications as it offers high levels of protection against excessive current. It is easy to install and replace and works on the principle of resistive heating. Thus, it is the perfect choice for protecting devices and equipment in field applications.
