0263004.WRT3

Fuses are widely used as a safety device, namely an electrical component which is designed to protect circuits and equipment from damage due to electrical overload or short circuits. The 0263004.WRT3 is a type of AC Low-voltage Current Limiting Fuse, which is designed to help protect motors, generators, and other electrical sources from damage due to inrush current.

Application Field

The 0263004.WRT3 is designed for indoor and outdoor applications, such as residential, commercial, and industrial settings. This type of fuse is suitable for use with single-phase AC power and motor control circuits. It can be installed on transformers, high voltage motor control centers, branch circuits, disconnects, and other electrical equipment. The 0263004.WRT3 is also suitable for use in other applications when a limiting fuse is required, such as data centers, HVAC systems, and process control applications.

Working Principle

When an overload or short circuit occurs in an AC circuit, the 0263004.WRT3 fuse will quickly sense the situation and begin to limit the amount of fault current. This is done by not allowing the device to pass more than the rated current. Once the fault current reaches the rated value, the fuse will open and cut off the power to the faulty device. This helps prevent further damage and protect the circuit.

The 0263004.WRT3 is designed with a one-hour thermal time-delay characteristic. This means that the fuse will allow short duration inrush currents to flow, such as those caused by starting motors, yet still provide excellent protection. Additionally, the device also includes a current-limiting feature, which is designed to limit the current to a specified value, even when a severe overload occurs. This ensures that the protective device operates within its specified ratings and does not cause disruption to connected equipment.

Despite its small size, the 0263004.WRT3 is a highly reliable and effective fuse which can help protect motors, generators, and other electrical sources from damage due to inrush current and overloading. Its unique design allows it to provide excellent protective capabilities, while still allowing short duration inrush currents to pass. As such, it is an ideal solution for a variety of applications.
