0218010.MXEP Datasheet/PDF0218010.MXEP is a fusing device that is widely used by many industries. It is mainly used in low voltage power systems and for protection against overloads and short circuits. 0218010.MXEP is a thyristor-controlled fusing device that is capable of reliably and temporarily breaking large currents for short time periods. This type of device has a fusing time that is dependent on the current intensity. It can also be set to a minimum of 10 milliseconds or to a maximum of 0.3 seconds.
This fusing device is composed of a thyristor, a capacitor, a resistor, a resistor-capacitor-diode (RCD) unit and a fuse. The thyristor, also known as a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR), acts as a switch in the circuit and is used to control the current flow. The capacitor is connected to the thyristor to provide temporary power to it while the resistor is connected in series with the capacitor to restrict the current. The RCD unit is used to reduce the voltage and make sure the maximum current peaks do not exceed the safe operating range.
The operation of the thyristor takes place in three stages. In the first stage, the thyristor is triggered by an AC current. This current is then controlled by the capacitor and the resistor which cause the current flow through the SCR to decrease. In the second stage, the capacitor will slowly discharge leading to further reduction of the current in the SCR. In the third and last stage, the capacitor is discharged completely and the current will decrease until it reaches zero. When the current reaches zero, the fuse will be blown.
0218010.MXEP provides great versatility for the applications it is used in. It can be used for protection against overloads and short circuits, but it can also be used as a circuit interruptor or an isolation switch. It is suitable for use in any low voltage environment and can be set to protect against currents of up to 12000 A.
0218010.MXEP offers reliable protection against large current interruptions and can be used to prevent costly electrical fires and equipment breakdowns. Its fast response time and reliable performance make it an excellent choice for applications that require protection against overloads and short circuits. It can also be used as a circuit interruptor or an isolation switch for applications where the fusing time needs to be adjusted.
0218010.MXEP is a sophisticated yet practical fusing device that is used in a wide range of applications in many industries. With reliable performance and adjustable fusing times, it offers efficient protection against large current interruptions and can be trusted to provide effective protection for electrical equipment.
