0232003.MXP application field and working principle

MXP fuse is the short name of “Miniature Explosion-proof Fuse”, which is a kind of fuse special used for battery protection in a small space. The applications of MXP fuses can be involved in the fields of miniaturization, automation, electric motor protection and power protection.

Working Principle

MXP fuses are a kind of fuse which is made by a specialized circuit breaker. It is designed for the purpose of protecting the circuits in which their load power is not too high. Generally, there are two wires of MXP fuse to transmit current directly. When the current transmission is higher than the preset value, these two wires will start to give off heat. It will cause the internal temperature to increase very quickly and thusly, the circuit breaker will cut off the current.

MXP fuses are designed with a high-precision lifespan. That is to say, if the current transmission exceeds the preset value, the fuse can be triggered to quickly cut off the circuit. Thusly providing real-time protection to the circuit. Besides, in order to ensure the safe operation of the circuit, MXP fuses are often used together with connections that help to automatically reset the fuse.

Application Field

Due to its small size, MXP fuses are widely used in industries that need to install the protection device in limited space. Such as electric vehicle, communication equipment, electric bicycles and household appliances.

Taking the Lithium-ion battery for electric vehicle as an example, the high rate current discharging circuit of the battery is a necessary condition to meet the requirement of driving motor. Taking the Lithium-ion battery for electric bicycle, the same protection is also essential. Thanks to the small size, MXP can help to minimize the design size and reduce the cost of miniaturization and automation, which let us enhance the performance and increase the stable lifespan of the machine.

Apart from the above applications, MXP can also be used for miniaturizing and automating the protection circuit of the general electrical and electronic equipment. The better performance of these MXP fuses can also be guaranteed during their working life.
