0315.062MXP

The 0315.062MXP is a fast-acting, ceramic body fuse specifically designed for use in a range of industrial, commercial and residential applications.

This fuse is designed with a ceramic body and a metal element. The ceramic body is used to provide a thermal insulation barrier between the fuse and the conductor carrying the current. This prevents the heat generated by the current from damaging the device or its environment. The metal element acts as a current-limiting device, limiting the current flowing through the circuit in the event of an over current.

The 0315.062MXP has a breaking capacity of 22.5A. This fuse is rated at 600VAC and it is UL listed and CSA certified. It is suitable for branch circuit protection for equipment up to 15A.

Advantages

The 0315.062MXP quick acting, ceramic body fuse is designed for use in a wide range of applications. It is designed to protect branch circuits from overload or short circuit conditions. The ceramic body of this fuse is designed to provide thermal insulation from the current it is protecting, preventing damage to the device or its environment. The current limiting feature of this fuse ensures that the current flowing through the circuit is limited in the event of an over current. The UL listing and CSA certification of this fuse ensures that it has been tested and approved for use.

Applications

The 0315.062MXP is designed for use in a wide range of applications including industrial, commercial and residential applications. It is suitable for use in air conditioners, microwaves, refrigeration and other HVAC equipment including thermocouples, fireplaces and stoves. It can also be used to protect small branch circuits, such as those used for lighting and low power equipment.

Working Principle

The 0315.062MXP fuse works by using a ceramic body as the insulation barrier between the fuse and the conductor. This ceramic body helps to prevent heat from being conducted into the surrounding environment, as the heat generated by the current that passes through the fuse will be contained within the ceramic body. The metal element in this fuse acts as a current-limiting device. If the current flowing through the circuit exceeds the rated capacity, then the metal element will limit the current, and the fuse will blow. This prevents the circuit from becoming overloaded or short circuited.

Conclusion

The 0315.062MXP fuse is designed for use in a wide range of industrial, commercial and residential applications. It offers protection from overload and short circuit conditions by limiting the current passing through the circuit. The ceramic body of this fuse ensures that any heat generated by the current is contained within the fuse, preventing damage to the device or its environment. This fuse is UL listed and CSA certified, ensuring that it has been tested and approved for use.
