0218.500MXEP

Application Field

The 0218.500MXEP fuse is designed to be used in a wide range of electrical systems that require additional safety protection. They offer various features, such as fast operation speed, current limit protection, and high breaking capacity, that make them suitable for a variety of applications. These fuses are commonly used in consumer and commercial applications, such as in the automotive, computer, and home appliance industries. They are also used in industrial applications that require high current protection, including photovoltaic switchgear, medium voltage distribution, traction, and wind power.

Working Principle

The 0218.500MXEP fuse utilizes a thermal-magnetic design that involves a thermal element and a magnetic element in tandem. The thermal element is a resistor that heats up when current flow through it exceeds the rated level of the fuse. When this happens, the heat generated by the thermal element will cause the fuse to trip, breaking the circuit and stopping the current from flowing. The magnetic element, on the other hand, is an electromagnet that is activated when the current level rises above the rated value of the fuse. This triggers a separation of the contact points, again activating the trip and breaking the circuit.

In addition to protecting the system from potentially hazardous electrical currents, the 0218.500MXEP fuse also helps to increase the system\'s overall efficiency. The trip mechanism of the fuse is designed to operate quickly and with minimal resistance, allowing for less energy to be wasted in the process. This ensures that the system is kept running efficiently, saving energy and potentially reducing the operating costs.
