0218.100VXP Application Field and Working Principle

Fuses are a critical component of all electrical systems, designed to protect the system from short circuits, overloads, and other power problems. Fuses are especially important in larger industrial settings, as these systems contain many elements that can malfunction or be subjected to incorrect conditions. The 0218.100VXP is a particularly high power fuses, used for applications that require a lot of energy to be passed through them. It is designed for applications with up to 440 V.

Application Area

The 0218.100VXP is often used to protect large electrical systems, such as in factories and in industrial applications, as it is specially designed to handle high levels of voltage and can prevent power related problems and accidents. It is most commonly use as the final level of protection against dangerous electrical conditions, such as short circuits or overloads. The low current version of the 0218.100VXP is also used in some residential applications, such as on pool pumps, or solar panel systems.

Working Principle

The 0218.100VXP uses a Linked Element Fuse operation. These operate by having a metal element, known as a fuse link, which passes through a glass tube. When the current passes through this element, it causes the element to heat up. If the current is above a certain amount, the fuse link is no longer able to conduct, leading to a reduction in power and the protection of the electrical system. This fuse has a current interrupting capacity of 200A at 440V, and can hold a temperature of up to 358 degrees C. and is designed to break the current before an overload or short circuit occurs.

Advantages

The 0218.100VXP is designed to be a reliable and safe fuse for high power applications. It is designed to provide fast response time to surges and other problems. It is also low in cost and is easy to install and maintain. It has a high current interrupting capacity of 200A, meaning it is suitable for a wide range of high power applications.

Conclusion

The 0218.100VXP was developed to provide reliable and cost effective protection to large industrial applications from overloads and short circuits. It is designed to be fast acting and has a high current interrupting capacity, meaning it is suitable for a variety of applications where a lot of power needs to be passed through it. It is low in cost and is easy to install and maintain.
