0224.500HXP

Fuses

The 0224.500HXP is a 500 VAC time delay fuses that are specifically designed for HVACR applications. These fuses are UL listed and have a high interrupting rating making them suitable for a variety of AC power distribution circuits.

The working principle of the 0224.500HXP fuses is based on the principle of melting a metal filament. The metal filament is surrounded by a low-resistance container filled with a low-melting point material, usually silver or copper. When the current flow inside the fuse exceeds the rating of the unit, the heat generated from this high current flow will cause the metal filament to melt. This breaking of the circuit will protect the circuit by cutting off the current flow and prevent further damage to the circuit.

0224.500HXP fuses can be used in a variety of applications including, but not limited to HVACR, lighting, electric appliances, and circuit boards. In HVACR applications, these fuses provide overcurrent protection for motors, transformers, relays, compressors, and other electrical components. In lighting applications, they can be used to protect light fixtures, dimmers, and other lighting related electrical devices. Additionally, they can also be used to protect electric appliances, power strips, and circuit boards. This type of fuse is especially useful for providing overcurrent protection in high voltage circuits.

The 0224.500HXP fuses are available in four standard amperage ratings: 5, 10, 15, and 20. All four fuse ratings are UL listed and approved for use in AC power distribution. Additionally, they feature a time-delay function which further protects the circuit by delaying the opening of the circuit when the current draw exceeds the rating of the fuse. This delay gives the circuit a chance to cool down, thus reducing the likelihood of damaging the circuit.

Overall, the 0224.500HXP fuses provide reliable AC power distribution protection in a variety of applications. They are easy to install and feature an interrupting ratings that makes them applicable for high voltage circuits. Additionally, they feature a time-delay function that allows the circuit to cool down before opening, further reducing the risk of circuit damage.
