0305.160H

The 0305.160H fuse is a high rupturing capacity (HRC) fuse developed and designed to do a specific task in various electrical and electronic systems. It is a type of fuse used mainly to protect high voltage systems in a variety of settings or applications. It has a simple working principle with two parts or elements; one is a plug and the other the body. It is the combination between these components that allow it do its job.

Design

The 0305.160H fuse is designed to contain a reservoir filled with an inert, non-corrosive gas that is held in suspension in a dielectric liquid. The reservoir has an additional gas filled component which renders the device characteristically non-resettable. The fuse is composed of a two-piece construction, which is mostly made out of a steel shell and a copper or silver center. The steel shell provides an insulated layer and the copper or silver center serves as the primary current path.

Working Principle

The 0305.160H fuse works in a simple but effective manner. When the current is too high, the gas inside the reservoir starts to expand, causing the pressure to increase. This in turn causes the fuse to rupture and the two pieces to separate. The breaking of the fuse will cause the circuit to become open and no electrical current will be allowed to pass through.

The strength of a 0305.160H fuse is determined by the gas-filled component, which is designed and calibrated for a particular current-carrying ability. Once the fuse has been ruptured, it can not be used again and must be replaced with a new one. The fuse is non-resettable, meaning that it cannot be reset and reused.

Application Field

The 0305.160H fuse can be used in a variety of applications in electrical engineering and electronic systems. It is suitable for use in power supplies and power distribution systems, UPSs, broadcasting and telecommunication systems, as well as in high voltage systems such as airplanes, ships, and industrial systems. The fuse is also suitable for electrical equipment with high current demand such as motors and transformers, where it offers the best protection against potentially damaging overloads.

The 0305.160H fuse is an effective and reliable solution for protecting high voltage systems. It is simple to install and maintain, and its non-resettable nature provides extra protection against overloads and short circuits. The fuse is designed to blow safely and quickly in the event of an overload, offering maximum protection for valuable equipment.
