0283100.U

0283100.U application field and working principle

0283100.U, also known as an overcurrent protection device, is a device that is designed to protect electrical circuits, equipment, and systems from damage due to overcurrent and overloads. It is mainly used in low-voltage applications, such as 277 V (120/240 V) for residential homes and 480 V (208/120 V) for commercial/industrial applications.

The 0283100.U contains a fusible element that melts when exposed to an overloaded current or an over-voltage condition. The melting of the fusible element causes an interruption of the circuit, thus protecting it from further damage.

The 0283100.U has an internal current limiting feature in which the fuse will open when a certain overload current is reached. This provides additional protection from over-voltage conditions. The 0283100.U has an adjustable current rating, which is normally adjusted in the range of 6-18 A. This rating is set according to the load requirements.

When selecting an 0283100.U for a specific application, the following factors must be taken into consideration: maximum continuous current rating, maximum voltage rating, operating temperature, and cycling characteristics. The selection must be made such that the fuse is able to protect against all potential overload conditions.

The 0283100.U is a circuit protection device that is designed to protect electrical circuits, equipment, and systems from overcurrent and overloads. It is most commonly used in low-voltage applications and features an adjustable current rating, an internal current limiting feature, and can be used in a wide variety temperature ranges.
