0217.160HXP Application Field and Working Principle

Introduction

The 0217.160HXP Fuse is a high voltage, current and time-limited short-circuit protective device used in AC power distribution systems. It is applicable to the distribution system in communications networks, office automation, computer rooms, data centers, industrial loads, and other high voltage applications. It is the preferred choice for protecting power circuits from short circuiting, overloading and other power problems.

Features

The 0217.160HXP Fuse has many features that make it the ideal choice for high voltage use. The fuse is UL listed and CSA certified for use in AC circuits. It can interrupt energy up to 2 kA at 600V and has an operating temperature range of -40 to 85°C. It also features a two-pole construction with fused contacts, ensuring all poles are independently tripped in the event of a short circuit. Additionally, the 0217.160HXP is designed for one-time fuse replacement, meaning it should never need to be reset or replaced again.

Applications

The 0217.160HXP Fuse can be used in a wide variety of high voltage applications, such as in the protection of power circuits, primary distribution, secondary distribution, and load centers. It is suitable for use in the protection of AC mains, branch circuits, and motors from short circuits as well as overloading.

The 0217.160HXP Fuse is ideal for use in critical applications such as communications networks, office automation, computer rooms, data centers, and industrial loads. Additionally, it can be used in applications such as providing superior surge protection, protecting sensitive equipment, and preventing expensive downtime due to power problems.

Working Principle

The 0217.160HXP Fuse works on the principle of current limiting. When the current flowing through it exceeds the set limit, the contacts in the fuse will open, breaking the circuit. This interrupts the flow of current, protecting the circuit from further damage.

The fuse is designed so that the current-limiting element is located between the input and output terminals. This ensures that the current flow is reduced in the event of a short circuit, preventing further damage to the system.

When the contacts open, they cause a rapid drop in voltage in the circuit, tripping any circuit breakers and fuses downstream. This ensures that further damage to the circuit is minimized.

Conclusion

The 0217.160HXP Fuse is a high voltage, current and time-limited short-circuit protective device used in AC power distribution systems. It is UL listed and CSA certified for use in AC circuits. It is ideal for use in critical applications such as communications networks, office automation, computer rooms, data centers, and industrial loads.
