0314020.MXP Fuses: Application Field and Working Principle

0314020.MXP fuses are specifically designed to fit into miniaturized fuse holders in the naval, commercial aviation and military markets. They are highly reliable, and offer superior protection against voltage and current fluctuations.

The size and design of the 0314020.MXP fuse allow for a replacement of existing cartridge or plug-in fuses in small circuit boards. This device is resettable and features a low changeover voltage while combining test-proven and dependable current-limiting time-delay operation. It also provides under-voltage protection and has an integrated thermal fuse, so that it can safely shut down the circuitry in case of an overload.

The 0314020.MXP fuse has two distinct application fields. It may be used in order to protect specific circuits of the control panel in military or commercial aircraft, shipboard electronics, as well as marine, armored vehicle, and special electronics systems.

Working Principle

When an overload or overcurrent occurs, the 0314020.MXP fuse turns on. This causes an increased voltage drop across the fuse element, which leads to current limitation and thermal energy dissipation. The thermal energy generated by this process is transferred to the fuse\'s porcelain insulator, where it is released through the fuse cables. The rapid release of this thermal energy triggers the fuse opening sequence and the circuits disconnect.

The 0314020.MXP fuse features a low-changeover voltage, which means the device can quickly transition from a high-current electrical state to a low-current state. This helps to protect the fuse and the circuit it is protecting from potential damage due to an overload. It also reduces the amount of power and current lost in the circuit in the event of an overload.

The integrated thermal fuse helps to shut down the circuitry in the event of an overload. The thermal fuse is sensitive to increasing temperatures, which means it immediately trips when the temperature in the circuit reaches a certain point. This helps to prevent damaging temperatures from developing, and also ensures that the circuit is shut down quickly.

The 0314020.MXP fuse is a highly reliable and dependable device that offers superior protection against voltage and current fluctuations. Its low-changeover voltage helps to prevent potential damage due to an overload, while its integrated thermal fuse helps to shut down the circuitry quickly in the event of an overload.
