0232003.MXWP Application Field and Working Principle

The 0232003.MXWP is a fuse designed for use in outdoor applications such as electric tools, surveillance systems, industrial equipment, and transformers. It is also used as a secondary protection device in motor drives, voltage and current switching devices, power protection systems, and surge protectors. This fuse is designed to protect against overloads, short circuits, and other electrical damage.

The 0232003.MXWP fuse consists of a copper alloy strip with a self-supporting element. The self-supporting element is composed of tin-silver coefficients that have been embedded on a base material which can range from glass-fiber-reinforced polyester to special grade copper. This design ensures that the fuse remains stable and temperature-resistant for continuous use.

The working principle of the 0232003.MXWP is based on the resistive heating of the element when the current rises above the upper limit. The heater element is then ruptured and the fuse breaks. When the current drops below the lower limit and the temperature decreases, the fuse is reset and the circuit is restored. The fuse also features an integrated indicator which tells the user when the fuse has been exceeded and needs to be replaced.

The 0232003.MXWP has a rated voltage of 600 Volt and a contact rating of 1.5 kV. It is UL listed and is rated for up to 2,000 short-circuit breaking capacity. The fuse is available in three different sizes, 0.47, 0.62, and 0.78 inches, and features quick-acting characteristics. The 0232003.MXWP is compact and lightweight, making it easy to install or remove from an electrical circuit.

The 0232003.MXWP fuse is an excellent choice for many outdoor applications due to its low resistance, high short-circuit breaking capacity, quick-acting characteristics, and low contact rating. It is an excellent secondary protection device that is easy to install and reliable in operation.
