Fuses

0230001.DRT2SW is an industrial fuse, a component commonly used in various industrial and commercial power distribution applications. Designed to provide overcurrent and short circuit protection, it is an integral part of many power distribution systems.

Application Field

0230001.DRT2SW can be used in a wide variety of industrial and commercial power distribution applications, including power generation, cable protection, railway traction, electrical motor control, motor protection and rectifier applications. It is also suitable for protecting longer cables and/or heavily loaded systems, where the system’s overload capacity needs to be increased. The fuse is especially suited for applications where a high degree of reliability and safety is required, such as those where it is important to minimize downtime, like in railway traction.

Working Principle

0230001.DRT2SW works on the principle of thermal-magnetic release. This means that the fuse is designed to respond both to gradual overloads, which cause rapid heating, and to transient overcurrents, that create a strong magnetic field. The thermal-magnetic release in the fuse ensures that the fuse trips in a predetermined time in both cases, protecting the circuit from catastrophic failure. In case of a short circuit, the fuse quickly responds, typically within milliseconds, and shuts off the power to the affected circuit.

The fuse is rated at a specific current and voltage. This means that the fuse trips when the current passes through it exceeds its rated value, or when the voltage applied to the fuse exceeds its rated value. The time taken for the fuse to trip is called the clearing time. It is an important parameter for industrial use as it determines how fast the fuse can trip in case of an overload or a short circuit, protecting the circuit from catastrophic failure.

Conclusion

0230001.DRT2SW is a reliable industrial fuse with a wide application field. It works on the basis of thermal-magnetic release, protecting the circuit from overloading and short circuits. It is rated at a specific current and voltage, ensuring that it trips in a predetermined time both in case of overloads and short circuits. As one of the most reliable fuses in the world, it is an excellent choice for use in various industrial and commercial power distribution applications.
