Fuses

A fuse is a safety device designed to protect an electrical circuit from getting overloaded and beginning of a fire that may result from excess current. The most common type of fuse used by electricians in electronic and electrical circuits is the 0217.200HXP fuse. It is a Type 2 fuse specially designed for lighting, motor, heating, and air conditioning systems.

0217.200HXP Application Field

The 0217.200HXP fuse is especially designed for the following electrical applications: Industrial, commercial, and residential lighting systems, electric motor and related appliances, air conditioning circuits, heating systems, reversing motors, induction motors, pumps, fans, transformers, and resistive appliances. These fuse’s characteristics enable them to withstand current surges in their respective fields.

0217.200HXP Working Principle

The working principle of the 0217.200HXP fuse is simple: when there is an overload in the circuit, a thin wire or element is heated to the point of melting. This melting of the wire element breaks the circuit and keeps it that way until the problem is identified and corrected. The 0217.200HXP fuse has an automatic reset feature which enables it to reset after the current overload has been rectified.

The 0217.200HXP fuse is designed to not only protect from overloads, but also from voltage spikes and low voltage drops. This makes the fuse indispensable in many applications. It is equipped with a thermal bi-metal element which acts as a circuit breaker, and when current flow exceeds the fuse’s rating, the bi-metal element expands and trips a lever which separates the contacts. This breaks the circuit and prevents current flow entirely. The fuse also restores by itself once the problem has been corrected.

Advantages of the 0217.200HXP Fuse

The 0217.200HXP fuse has several advantages over other types of fuses. First and foremost, it is a UL recognized component. It is also able to withstand current surges, which is important in environments with unpredictable or changing loads. Additionally, the design of the 0217.200HXP fuse allows for easy installation and maintenance. It is highly reliable, with a contact resistance of 20 milliohms and an interruption rating of at least 130 mA.

The 0217.200HXP fuse is also highly resistant to electrical and thermal shock, as well as changes in temperature and humidity. It is also non-inductive, meaning it does not generate an electromagnetic field, which can protect sensitive electronic components from damage. Finally, the 0217.200HXP fuse is designed to minimize arcing upon collapse and has a long expected life of over 20,000 operations.

Conclusion

The 0217.200HXP fuse is a robust, reliable, and effective safety device used in many different applications. It is designed to resist overloads, voltage spikes, and low voltage drops. It is highly reliable and requires minimal maintenance. In short, the 0217.200HXP fuse is a perfect solution for providing a comprehensive protection against high current surges in circuits.
