0318.062H Datasheet/PDFThe 0318.062H is an electrically operated Type-T fuse that is used in many applications. It is also referred to as a European-style fuse. This fuse can be used in applications such as household appliances, lighting, heating, air-conditioning, security, and motor control systems. It is also widely used in cooling systems, automation equipment, and illumination circuits.
The Type-T fuse is made up of a metallic strip that is connected between two clamps. It is designed to quickly isolate a dangerous electrical current in an electric circuit, thereby protecting the connected devices from being damaged. The fuse element is made of a metal alloy that is fused to a switch.
The design of the Type-T fuse is generally simple. It consists of a metallic strip with two white circles, which form a connecting link between the fuse and the connecting device. The white circles indicate the current rating of the fuse. The other part is composed of two metal plates that are placed inside two slots that are placed at both ends of the metallic strip. The two slots contain two blocks of metal which act as the amperage and voltage rating for the fuse.
When the electrical current passes through the metallic strip, it will cause the two metal plates to expand which will cause them to press the blocks of metal together, creating a cross-sectional area of the fuse. The size of this area is determined by the amperage and voltage ratings of the fuse. This area is the mechanism that is used to protect the electric circuit from experiencing current overload.
Once the current load on the circuit exceeds the current ratings of the fuse, the metal plates will heat up, and the current will flow through the fuse. This will cause the metallic element to fuse, which will open the electric circuit and isolate it from any further overload. This process helps to protect the connected electric devices from being damaged.
The 0318.062H Type-T fuse is an essential element in many electrical circuits, and it is an important safety feature that helps protect electric circuits and equipment from being damaged due to overloads. It is important to always make sure that the fuse is rated for the amount of current that is running through the circuit to ensure that it can handle the load.
