0208007.MXEP Circuit Protection

MXEP is the latest addition to the family of circuit protection devices, bringing together the simplicity of traditional fuses with the technological advances of the semiconductor industry. The MXEP fuse features a thermally stabilized construction, which offers reliable overload protection and uninterrupted power flow. The thermally stabilized material is designed to not age or to reach its mechanical limit during extended periods of operation. It is also designed for low arcing which helps to reduce any potential fire hazard or risk of costly damage to electronics.

The device contains two main components; a ceramic thermistor body and an energy dissipating element. The thermistor body is designed to absorb heat in the event of an overload and to prevent current flow from reaching dangerously high levels. The energy dissipating element is designed to act as a resistor and discharge to ground any excess current released by the thermistor.

The MXEP fuse is also built with a bi-metallic element which reacts quickly to temperature changes which occur when current levels drop back to their normal range. This element prevents the fuse from prematurely blowing and ensures that current flow is restored as quickly as possible. The bi-metallic element also provides over-temperature protection in the event of a sustained overload to the circuit.

The MXEP fuse is designed for applications that include automotive components, consumer electronics, industrial machinery, computer peripherals and communications equipment. It is also perfect for providing circuit protection for motor applications and in LED lighting circuits. With its dual protection capabilities, this fuse provides complete protection against both short circuit and overload conditions.

In addition to its excellent performance characteristics, the MXEP fuse also possesses a number of safety features. Its design includes a barrier between the fuse and the base, to protect against electrical shock. It also features a self-locking mechanism, which makes it impossible to remove the fuse without de-energising the circuit. This prevents accidental contact with live parts, or physical damage to the fuse from tampering.

The MXEP fuse is an ideal protection device for all types of circuits, offering reliable, robust protection from overcurrents and thermal events. It is easy to install and offers a safe, cost-effective solution to circuit protection needs. With its simple, user-friendly design, the MXEP fuse is a great choice for both amateur and professional engineers.
