0314.250HXP

Fuses are electrical safety devices that are designed to protect electrical equipment from overcurrents and overloads. The 0314.250HXP is a 250 Amp, 38.9 KV rated, 193A-XXX-LV44 fuses designed to protect transformers and other electrical equipment. This fuse is commonly used in industrial, commercial, and residential applications.

In terms of its application field, this fuse is suitable for use as a feeder fuse in overhead and pad-mounted transformer applications. It is designed for branch circuit protection in a variety of installations with single flat-plate or liquid-filled transformers. It can be installed in pad-mounted or pole-mounted outdoor locations, or in indoor and outdoor junction boxes. It can also be used with motor overloads, resistive heating circuits, and other electrical loads.

The working principle of the 0314.250HXP fuse is fairly simple. When the current that flows through the circuit exceeds the acceptable amount, the fuse will automatically shut off the current, thus preventing further damage to the equipment. This is done by heating up a conducting element in the fuse until it melts. This breaking of the conducting element interrupts the circuit, thus limiting the current flow and protecting the equipment.

In order for the fuse to react as desired, it must be of the appropriate size suited to the circuit. If a fuse that is too small for the circuit is used, it can allow too much current to pass through, resulting in damage to the equipment due to overheating. On the other hand, if a fuse that is too large for the circuit is used, it will not trigger in time to protect the equipment.

The 0314.250HXP fuse is a highly reliable, cost-effective solution for branch circuit protection. Its 250 Amp, 38.9 KV rating provides ample protection for a wide range of applications. It also has a high interrupting capacity, making it a suitable choice for use with resistive heating circuits and other electrical loads.
