02171.25MXP Fuses

The 02171.25MXP fuses are low voltage power fuses used for general purpose and motor protection applications. These fuses are available in a variety of sizes and have a current rating of 25A. They are UL recognized and CSA certified.

Application Field

The 02171.25MXP fuses are most often used in residential and commercial applications. They are used in domestic and light industrial equipment such as dishwashers, washing machines, refrigeration and freezers, heaters, air conditioners, dryers, water pumps, and other applications. They are also used in motor protection and control circuits.

Working Principle

The 02171.25MXP fuses work by using a special alloy, a metal-oxide varistor. This alloy has a high melting point which acts as the fuses “breaking point” under extreme conditions. When the current being carried by the fuse exceeds the rated value, the varistor melts and the current flow is cut off, thus protecting the equipment and load from damage.

The 02171.25MXP fuses are designed to be used in two-way configuration. This means that both the current flow and the voltage are monitored, and the current is cut off when either exceeds the rated value. This makes them well-suited for applications such as motor protection and control circuits.

Advantages

The 02171.25MXP fuses are UL recognized and CSA certified, which makes them safe to use in residential and commercial applications. They have a current rating of 25A, so they are suitable for a range of applications. They are also designed to be used in two-way configuration, so they are well-suited for motor protection and control circuits. Additionally, the special metal-oxide varistor used in the fuse ensures that it will cut off the current flow when required.

Disadvantages

The 02171.25MXP fuses are not as robust as some other types of fuses, so they may not be suitable for higher power applications. Additionally, they are not suitable for applications which require fast response time, as the metal-oxide varistor takes a while to melt.

Conclusion

The 02171.25MXP fuses are UL recognized and CSA certified low voltage power fuses suitable for use in residential and commercial applications. They have a current rating of 25A and are designed to work in two-way configuration, making them well-suited for motor protection and control circuits. The metal-oxide varistor ensures that the current will be cut off when required. While not as robust as some other types of fuses, they are still suitable for a range of applications.
