0251007.MAT1JL Application Field and Working Principle

0251007.MAT1JL is a type of fuse, which is a component of an electrical circuit designed to protect the circuit from drawing too much current, reducing risk of fire or damage to other components within the circuit. It does this by way of a fuse element, a ribbon-like piece of metal inside the fuse, which melts and disconnects the circuit should an overload occur. 0251007.MAT1JL fuses are specifically used in industrial electrical installations due to their unique make and size, which is small enough to fit onto a wall-mounted circuit breaker.

Features

• Compact size.
• The ability to be mounted on the cabin wall.
• Easy installation.
• One-way fuse element.
• Integral test hole as part of the unit.

The Working Principle

The 0251007.MAT1JL fuse comprises of a wire or ribbons (usually made of tin-plated copper or aluminium) and a plastic body. The body provides protection against dust and external influences such as moisture, resulting in a long operational life. A hole is present at one end of the fuse, referred to as the ‘test portal’, through which the device’s current rating can be tested.

When in normal use, the fuse wire sits within the plastic body, its two ends connected to the electrical circuit. Should an unwanted current pass through the circuit as a result of too much load on the circuit, the fuse wire melts and consequently opens the circuit, breaking the flow of electric current. Inadvertent forces or mechanical shocks also risk rupturing the fuse, in turn protecting the voltage source and its consumer.

Resetting the fuse is simply a matter of replacement, and should not be done without the correct tools and safety measures. As such, 0251007.MAT1JL fuses should only be used in installations conducted by a professional or person with the necessary qualifications to ensure the safety of an electrical circuit.

Uses for 0251007.MAT1JL Fuses

0251007.MAT1JL fuses are often used in industrial and commercial settings, where the circuit breaker has been mounted onto a wall. The compact size of the fuse makes it suitable for a variety of uses, including household lighting systems, car audio systems, domestic appliances, computer and electronic equipment, and general consumer products. The fuse is popularly used in production lines, circuit protection, and power distribution as well as in industrial applications, such as welding equipment, lifts and escalators.
