Fuses

The 0251007.PAT1L fuse is an important component in electrical and electronic circuits that protect against overload on certain circuits and components. It is instrumental in providing safety and protection for the user and the system as a whole in an array of applications. The basic principle behind the fuse is to ensure that the fuse trip when current on the circuit approaches a certain predetermined threshold.

Description and Application Fields

The 0251007.PAT1L fuse is a type of Low Voltage Fuse (LVF). Its rated voltage is 125V AC/250V DC, with an interrupt current of 1000A. It has a conventional size of 12mm x 30mm and a wide variety of body and component designs. The number and type of design models for the 0251007.PAT1L is quite expansive with its two major models being the Table Top (TT) type and the Modular (MOD) type.

This specific fuse is a perfect go-to solution for many electrical and electronic applications as it is suitable for general industrial equipment, motor control systems and much more. Additionally, it can be applied to medium current rated fuses for motors, instruments, interior illumination system including spotlight, professional lighting, automation systems, alarm systems and many more.

Working Principle

The fuse is designed with a metal element that melts when the electrical current running through the fuse exceeds the safe limit for the component. When this occurs, the element melts, releasing the electrical current and protecting the component. The amount of time taken for the fuse to react and release the current is known as the fuse’s melting time.

In a typical circuit, the current that passes through the fuse is predetermined and limited to a safe level by the way it is wired. This safe level is typically below the normal operation current of the device in order to prevent overload. Should the current exceed the safe level, then the fuse would protect the device against the higher current by allowing the fuse element to melt and open a gap in the circuit, which would in turn release the electrical current.

It is important to remember that the fuse should not be used to calculate how much current can pass through a circuit. Instead, it should be used to protect the circuit by limiting the current to a safe level; then if the current exceeds the safe level, the fuse would melt and cut the power, thus protecting the electrical equipment from being damaged by the excessive current.
