Fuses

Fuses are normally used to protect electrical circuits and equipment from damage caused by an overload or short circuit. In domestic applications, fuses are typically found in the form of a cylindrical tube with two threaded metal endcaps which contain a small conductor, such as a metal wire or strip. When a fault or overload condition occurs, the small conductor ‘melts’, interrupting the circuit and thus protecting the device or circuit.

The 022403.5HXW fuse is a copper clad, low voltage cartridge fuse designed for use in residential, commercial and industrial applications. This fuse is rated 600VAC/85Amps and has a 200,000A interrupting rating. It features a glass-reinforced phenolic base and a nickel plated brass body, making it ideal for use in harsh environments. The 022403.5HXW is also UL listed and CSA certified.

The 022403.5HXW fuse is designed to protect against overloads and short circuits. The fuse operates by ‘melting’ the small metal conductor, interrupting the circuit to protect the device or equipment from further electrical damage. The fuse’s heat rating is designed to prevent the metal conductor from melting too quickly during normal operation, allowing the metal wire to act as a ‘buffer’ in between the current and the fuse. The rated voltage, current and interrupting rating of the 022403.5HXW determine the types of applications it can be used in.

The 022403.5HXW can be used in a variety of applications, including residential, commercial and industrial applications. In residential applications, this fuse can provide circuit protection for lighting, air conditioners, electronic equipment and other electrical devices. It can also be used in commercial and industrial applications, such as process control, HVAC and motor control.

The 022403.5HXW fuse is designed to provide reliable and long-lasting circuit protection for a variety of applications. The rated voltage, current and interrupting rating of the fuse ensure that it is suitable for use in the correct environment and application. Its copper clad construction, glass reinforced phenolic base and nickel plated brass body make it suitable for use in harsh environments and ensure that it can provide circuit protection for a long time.
