0276007.M

Fuses are electrical safety devices used to protect electric circuits from overcurrents and short circuits. They are essential components for preventing electric current overloads and thus protecting electrical equipment from serious damage when too much current flows through an electric circuit. The 0276007.M is a 3-way manual reset fuse developed by Westinghouse. It is mainly used for residential and commercial buildings and is the most commonly used residential electrical fuse.

The 0276007.M is a 3-pole manual reset fuse, with an interrupting capacity of 10kA. It features a high current rating of 100A, and is designed to cover applications in residential and commercial buildings. It has a time delay rating of ≥2 seconds at dual 8-cylinder inductive load. This fuse is able to effectively absorb large overloads while its slow-blow feature minimizes nuisance tripping due to temporary in-rush currents. It also features an advanced thermal design, with durable and reliable construction to ensure long-term reliability.

The 0276007.M works by causing an electrical circuit to be disconnected when an unsafe level of overcurrent is detected. When too much current passes through a circuit, the heat generated by the high current flow causes the fuse element to heat up. Once the electrical current reaches an unsafe level, the fuse element melts and causes the circuit to be disconnected. This is known as "tripping." The slow-blow feature of the 0276007.M allows temporary in-rush currents to pass through without tripping the circuit.

The 0276007.M is a reliable and safe way to protect electrical circuits from overcurrent or short circuit damage. It offers a wide range of applications for residential and commercial buildings and its thermal design ensures long-term reliability. It allows for temporary surges of current to flow through without causing any damage, while quickly responding to dangerous levels of current in order to keep the circuit safe.
